The Big Apple will always have my heart. New York City is where I  first learned about sustainability and green living. Ironic I know, but it’s true. Well here’s some back-to school ideas for all you New Yorkers out there. It’s provided in courtesy of Greenopia New York, the independently researched guide to all green services and business in NYC area

ORGANIC PACKED LUNCHES (don’t forget the BOX!):

Send them to school with healthy snacks and fresh, locally grown grub from these yummy markets:

Back to the Land

142 7th Ave. 
Brooklyn, NY 11215
718-768-5654

 Elm Health

1695 1st Ave. 
New York, NY 10028
212-348-8500

Vitality Health and Organic Market

46-03 Broadway 
Astoria, NY 11103
718-274-1591

I am also a big fan of the Farmer’s Market in Union Square. There’s a wide variety of Organic produce and also supporting local farms in upstate New York. Highly recommended.
