Series: Greenopia series | Publication Date: March 1, 2008
Updated and expanded with more than 1,100 independently reviewed local listings of green businesses, retailers, service providers, and organizations in the Los Angeles area, this guide is an indispensable reference for eco-friendly shopping. It also offers practical advice and environmental tips that can easily be followed at home. Listings range from organic restaurants and grocery stores to dry cleaners, organic pest-control services, and sustainable building suppliers including landscapers and interior designers. All listings are vetted by a research team and then rescreened through local expert advisers, providing shoppers with confident, reliable choices. Some listings are further recognized with a "green leaf" award, which gauges green businesses on a scale of one to four leaves, four being the greenest. This guide is a truly complete resource for green living.

This review is from: Greenopia, Los Angeles: The Urban Dweller's Guide to Green Living (Greenopia series) (Paperback)
we all know from green business comes green jobs, comes ecofriendly service, comes a sustainable community.... so I ask why is this book not more well known... if I had the money marketing of this book would have become my one and only "cause". If you don't own this book at least get a copy from the library... if the library doesn't have one donate it so more people are aware it exists. Seriously this is the way of the world... this is the way the world will have to be if we are to survive. Please pass on the good news that there is green buiness and support local!!!! Greentopia made it into a website! http://www.greenopia.com/LA/local_city.aspx
