A Child Grows in Brooklyn: Brooklyn is a pretty amazing place: it has a small town feel with big city attractions. You can walk to the playground and know someone along the way AND go to some of the coolest events in the world. Parents here can cloth diaper without a second glance. They can also riff on a new book, play or exhibition that’s “hot”. There isn’t another city like it. And it’s home.
I made this site in the hopes that it would become a virtual “home” for Brooklyn parents. A home where they could find news and services that they need as parents. I started the blog in 2006 as a place for me and my friends to share information about services in Brooklyn.-

Greenopia is your local guide to green living. Our mission is a basic and big one: We set out to create a directory of eco-friendly retailers, services, and organizations and conducted extensive research on those we listed in the guide.
This guide is not a paid directory; companies cannot pay to be included and all listees are included because they met our strict standards of eco-friendliness. They have already been screened for their sustainability in the product or service arena and are now being compared with "the best of the best." Find out more from Greenopia founder Gay Browne. You can also read more about our Leaf Award system.
