This consumer guide is filled with more than
1,400 listings of green retailers, service providers, and
organizations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
The businesses are divided into categories and have a
minimum green requirement to be listed. Some of the
categories are further recognized with a "green leaf" award,
which gauges green businesses on a scale of one to four
leaves, four being the greenest. The award is based on a
measure of a business's sale or use of green products and
services. At the beginning of each category, the evaluation
criteria is provided. Among the listings are everything from
organic restaurants and grocery stores to dry cleaners,
organic pest control services, and sustainable building
suppliers, landscapers, and interior
designers.
