【實用生活app】My Green Cities|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

My Green Cities, LLC is a social movement dedicated to helping you "Choose Your World Wisely" by:

- Matching users and independent businesses on issues of sustainability and social awareness.

- Providing resources for a more conscientious lifestyle.

- Partnering with community groups and giving small business owners effective tools to communicate their good business practices to the community.

We believe that how we spend our money is one of the most powerful tools we have at our disposal. Communities can remain vibrant and economically viable only if consumers are informed and make the decision to support the businesses that keep them that way. Transparency, dialogue and positive reinforcement are key elements of our approach.

Need a great dry cleaner who doesn’t use PERC? A coffee shop that serves fair trade coffee or a law firm that helps working moms balance their busy schedules with flex time? It is our goal to help you find them locally - no matter where you are (yep, even on vacation)! The choice is yours. From simply avoiding big box stores to finding businesses near bike paths that take alternative currency - you will have the information and the tools you need to spend your hard earned money according to YOUR values and interests!

We feel that businesses that make the time, effort and financial commitment to sustainable and socially aware practices should be rewarded with what they need most - our business! To help with that, we’ve designed the MGC searchable, filterable database specifically to allow the most sustainable businesses to receive the most exposure.

Start with a basic search to find all locally owned, independent stores in your area that have signed up for My Green Cities. Or, search "Gold Star Only" to return only those businesses that have built social responsibility into their mission statement. For the greatest benefit, customize our filters to mean your values and interests, thereby helping you find the locally owned stores that are right for you.

Positive reinforcement is one of the key elements of our approach, so if you find a new store using our app be sure to thank the business owner for making their information available to you - and tell them where how you found them!

* My Green Cities launches cities as sufficient data becomes available. As of February 11, 2011 only data for Columbia, MO has been made available, but many more communities are on the way! If you like the My Green Cities concept, and wish to have your community on our website and app you can fill out the petition on our website www.mygreencities.com.
