This tip came from our friends at The Green Apple who wrote to us about a book that was just released this month called, what else, The Big Green Apple: Your Guide to Eco-Friendly Living in New York City. This book, written by Ben Jervey, provides simple solutions for the busy New Yorker with tips and strategies on how to adopt a lower-impact life without compromising your comfortable and cool urban lifestyle. It educates the reader about food, energy consumption, recycling and clothing, to name a few, and provides a comprehensive list of green goods and services throughout the five boroughs. If you’re interested in joining and organization or meeting up with people who are committed to a greener city, this is the book for you. Available at Amazon.com for $10.17. ::The Big Green Apple

For people who live in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, a similar guide is The Green Guide (http://www.thegreenguide.org).
Good companion to the 2006 Vegan Guide to New York City.
Actually, the 2006 edition is not available at amazon yet, but it is from MooShoes.
Actually, this wasn't published by the folks at The Green Apple. It's a completely separate publication :)
Correction: This isn't related to Andreea's wonderful "The Green Apple" book of tips and coupons for the NYC area. This is an unrelated publication, with tips, strategies, and a directory of all things "green" in the five boroughs. Let the record show....
oops! my sincere apologies - the tip came from the folks at The Green Apple so i thought it was related.
