Green America is unveiling today its newest issue of National Green
Pages (NGP), the ultimate sourcebook for green living, purchasing and
investing. This year’s edition is available in hardcopy or online at http://greenam.org/2f5uoYs. The
NGP continues to honor the greenest businesses in the country and
provides consumers with an extensive range of ideas for greening their
lives, work, and community. Readers can also take advantage of 450
freebies and discounts from Green America’s Certified Green Business
Network members nationwide.
Featuring thousands of socially and
environmentally responsible businesses, the 2017 National Green Pages is
a great resource for those who wish to create a safe and healthy home,
promote peace and justice, protect the environment, and support a living
wage for workers. Readers can discover tips for green remodeling,
eco-travel, non-toxic cleaners and clothing, responsible banking and
investing, and much more.
“With each green choice you make, you
help solve our planet’s problems,” said Alisa Gravitz, president and CEO
of Green America. “When you buy fair trade food and gifts, you ensure
fair wages for producers around the world. By choosing organic food and
clothing, you put an end to the dangerous pesticides used on
conventional crops. By making your home more energy-efficient, you
promote a clean-energy future. You restore the Earth. You save lives.”
All
of the companies in the 2017 National Green Pages go through a careful
certification process to ensure that their environmental and social
responsibility claims are accurate. These businesses are certified by Green America for their social and environmental impacts.
In
addition to providing information on specific companies, the 2017
National Green Pages details the types of green businesses “you need in
your life,” as well as the types of business “sucking the life out of
your community,” and helps readers avoid greenwashing.
Hard copies of this year’s National Green Pages can be ordered for $12.45 per copy including shipping at http://www.greenamerica.org/pubs/order/ or
