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.

Greenopia Christmas Gift Guide 2009: Ecofriendly Wine and Food
      by Starre Vartan

There's always tough people to shop for on your Christmas list, from Secret Santa to your child's teacher, to that neighbor you just know will stop by during the holidays. The simplest and best solution for gift-giving to these folks is to give something edible.

I've found wine and/or food to be a great way around giving to those you just don't know what to give to. Worst-case scenario? The person you give to doesn't drink wine or is allergic to something, which means they can easily re-gift. The important thing is that they were thought of, which is what holiday times are all about, aren't they?

479 Popcorn has this fun PIY (pop it yourself!)  kit so you can indulge in a healthy treat. Seven different kinds of heirloom, organic popcorn kernels are included in their mix, along with fun flavorings (think coconut sugar, curry salt, and more), organic heating oil, recipe cards, popcorn cones for parties, andinstructions.


 

The Organic Wine and Food pairing from wine.com could be a delicious mid-Winter picnic (perhaps in front of a roaring fire?) It includes an organic petite syrah, almond snacks, a kalamata spread with crackers, and some dark chocolate. Who wouldn't like to get this as a gift?

The Organic Extravaganza from Cherry Moon Farms will feel like a shot of sunshine into grey winter days to the giftee. Avocados, oranges, kiwi fruit and more prove that healthy food can be delicious too.



The Eco Wine Trio from wine.com includes a Rhone red, a Merlot, and a Pinot Noir, all in recyclable PET bottles (and housed in a reusable box). 10% of this product's retail price goes to the EarthEra Renewable Energy Trust where every penny is used to build renewable energy facilities in the United States. EarthEra also carbon balances the shipment of this product from the winery to you.

This Mendocino Organic Chocolate and Nuts basket is full of mid-winter snacking goodness, and organic too! Traditional with a healthy and planet-friedly twist.
