This is a Wikidelphia idea page in which Paul Glover proposes a Philadelphia Green Pages:


Our city already has several prominent green networking sources: Grid, Green Jobs Philly, Sustainable Business Network, Academy of Natural Sciences, PHENND, GPEN.org, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Farm to City, Volk Libre, the Food Guide, and more.

Of these, only SBN provides a categorized catalog. Green Jobs Philly has a single page which is not regularly updated. Grid and Green Jobs Philly provide categorized sections issue by issue. GPEN has an alphabetical list of environmental groups.

There is not yet a categorized green catalog which sets specific green standards, allows green businesses and nonprofit organizations to enter current information free into a moderated keyword-sortable list, then welcomes the general public to browse these entries.

The availability of such a service, print and online, would accelerate participation in existing groups and stimulate new initiatives.

  • Expand regional food self-sufficiency.
