Eat, Shop and Live Green with Greenopia

As part of Make It Work’s “Going Green” mission we are going to take some time this month to share our favorite “Green” Apps with you.

I was recently introduced to the Greenopia app by one of our Neighborhood Technology Consultants after he helped their founder with her technology needs.  Greenopia was founded right here in our home town of Santa Barbara, ‘to help people lead healthier lives in an increasingly toxic world’.  Their website is full of a ton of fantastic information to help you eat, shop and live green and the iPhone app will help find locations in your area that are eco-friendly!

This *free* application is very easy to use. Within seconds you will find yourself scrolling through green locations in your area.  From restaurants and grocery stores, to travel and transportation,  pet care and other services, this app has it all!  You can even call, get directions, and read Yelp reviews right from the application.  Every time I look for a restaurant, store or service in my area I now start with Greenopia, and you can too!  If we all do our part to support earth-friendly companies in our area we all benefit in the long run.

To hear more about the latest and greatest mobile applications, tune in to Make It Work with Jeremy Anticouni where we spotlight the hottest apps in our App Watch segment every Saturday at 3pm on KSFO 560 (or download the podcast!).
