Greenopia + Yelp = Even Better Green Listings
      by Starre Vartan Submit a Blog Blog Archives

Yelp, one of the web's largest user-generated review sites, is partnering with Greenopia!

Now not only can you find the greenest restaurants, drycleaners, banks, spas, florists, builders and more when you search Greenopia's listings but now you can see how customers of these same businesses have rated them, via Yelp's five-star rating system.

Yelp's tagline explains them well: "Yelp is the fun and easy way to find, review, and talk about what great- and not so great- in your area." Paired with Greenopia's four-leaf rating system, which looks at now environmentally impactful, healthy and sustainable a business is, you now have a powerful tool to find the best of the green (or the greenest of the best).

All our current Greenopia-rated cities: New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, are included in this new ratings partnership, and as more cities come online in the future, they too will have Yelp ratings and reviews for green businesses. 

Just another way Greenopia is helping you live greener- and smarter.
