Greenopia provides consumers with high quality information to help them reduce their impact on the environment through their daily purchasing decisions. Greenopia publishes extensive green business directories, product directories, and brand directories, as well as offering a growing community, news articles, blogs, and tips to help everyone eat, shop, and live green.
Greenopia's directories guide consumers to the businesses and products to help lead a more sustainable lifestyle. All listings are independently researched, rated, and ranked using unique sets of life cycle based and category-specific criteria, ensuring that each business and product meets precise qualifications. We never accept payment for listings.
The Greenopia Leaf Award allows consumers to easily assess the overall greenness of a business or product. Four-Leaf Rated listings meet our most stringent criteria while One-Leaf Rated listings meet our minimum qualifying standards. The Greenopia Scorecard allows consumers to easily see the specific areas of greenness in the product’s or brand’s life cycle.
Greenopia's community provides a place for people to engage in sharing their favorite listings, meeting other people, sharing their eco-interests, blogging, discussing green topics, and much more. Our newsletters provide an opportunity to stay up to date with compelling articles, press releases, exclusive opportunities, and the newest, hottest, and greenest listings.

Honor Roll: The University of California – San Diego (UCSD) has great environmental reporting and has joined up with the ACUPCC. UCSD has almost a dozen buildings in the LEED process, and requires that all new construction must be to at least LEED Silver standards. UCSD has an incredible recycling rate, diverting over two-thirds of its waste and is developing a composting program. About 15% of UCSD’s energy comes from renewable sources (very high relative to other schools), the school has a very comprehensive water conservation program, and many campus vehicles run off of alternative fuels (mostly biodiesel or straight electric). Held After Class: The climate numbers reported by UCSD for the ACUPCC were good, but not great. Given its favorable climate, the per student number in particular could be improved. UCSD also could stand to add more green food options. It has a decent selection, but not as many as other schools. Green Grade: The University of California at San Diego is very green and with a few minor changes could become a four leaf school. |
