Green Apple, Back-To-School Ideas for New York City
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.

ORGANIC PACKED LUNCHES (don’t forget the BOX!):
Send them to school with healthy snacks and fresh, locally grown grub from these yummy markets:
142 7th Ave.
Brooklyn, NY 11215
718-768-5654
1695 1st Ave.
New York, NY 10028
212-348-8500
Vitality Health and Organic Market
46-03 Broadway
Astoria, NY 11103

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.
