What We Do

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.

Our Directories

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.

Our Ratings

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.

Our Community

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.

With all the sap and sweetness out there, it can be hard to find something cool to say “I love you” or at least “You’re cool.”  But we have you covered. Check out our list of the best green bath and shower stuff out there – for him and for her! Remember, sharing a shower (or bath) saves water and energy! A simple (organic) bath soap or massage oil is inexpensive and naturally loving gift.

For Him
Body Pampering Massage Oil
Float the words “massage oil” by any man and watch his attention focus on you with laser-like precision.  This clean, green massage oil is a great pick.  Given a four out of four leaf rating by Greenopia, this oil is USDA certified organic and free of hazardous chemicals.

Basil and Mint Shaving Soap
This soap from SkinnySkinny is made entirely from organic and natural materials.  The company is low-impact in that they purchase wind power.  They also use minimal recycling packaging.  So props to SkinnySkinny with another four out of four leaf rating.

Shaving Brush
Don’t miss this cool shaving brush and stand made from renewable olive wood.  According to SkinnySkinny, “the bristles look and feel like pure badger, but without all of those negative side-effects to the badger.”  Good to know!   



     
Cool Mint Body Wash
This product from Terressentials is USDA certified organic, made completely from certified organic herbs and certified organic essential oils. 
Terressentials claims you will “jump into the shower and wake up with our minty, cool, stimulating body wash.”  Sounds like the perfect way to wake up your Valentine. 

For Her

Dr. Hauschka Aromatherapy Bath Kit

Beautorium.com brings us this fragrant bath oil kit from Dr. Hauschka.  Offer your girl a lemon, lavender, rosemary, spruce, and sage bath in a pretty metal tin.  This product is certified natural by the BDIH of Germany. Dr. Hauschka also donates to non-profits dedicated to ending world hunger. 

Flower Therapy Silken Velvet Body Lotion
With a four out of four leaf rating, this light lotion from Terressentials is “so silky and sweet, it will put a smile on your lips and a song in your heart.”  An excellent idea for her on the most romantic holiday of the year!

Lavender Massage Oil
Made from entirely natural and organic materials, this fragrant oil from Leap People is a great choice for her.  Leaf People also donates 3% of sales to non-profits.  They get a three out of four leaves.  And remember, lavender allegedly increases male arousal, so this may be the gift that keeps on giving. 

Tea Tree and Mint Lip Balm

Delicate, smooth, fresh, and “subtly tingly,” your girl will love this 100% organic product from SkinnySkinny.  The tea tree oil will also help heal dry, cracked lips, which is nice in the middle of winter.  (Hint: We have to lather our lips up to keep them smooth, especially when it is cold.)  And its four out of four leaf rating lets her know that you care about the environment.  And what’s hotter than that?
