This is a Wikidelphia idea page in which Paul Glover suggests 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.

Subject Matter

Print and online (searchable, sortable) directory comprising three prime divisions: For-profit, Non-profit, Government.

Food, Fuel, Housing, Health, Transportation, Education, Clothing, Recycling & Composting, Finance, Water, Air. Each of these would be introduced with a 200-word summary of possibilities.

The list would be moderated to admit local solution-oriented groups and programs inviting specific local action. It would not include mere crisis-oriented bad-news groups and media. It would not include mere general advocacy groups. They must invite participation in distinct actions.

  • Provide nonprofit holistic health services.
  • Expand regional food self-sufficiency.
  • Expand reliance on regional upcycled materials.
  • Expand local manufacture of durable essential goods.
  • Promote mutual aid.
  • Release local creativity to accomplish the above.
  • Provide backing for community credits and neighborhood currencies.
