By supporting organic agriculture you encourage an agricultural system that combines modern technology and more traditional approaches in order to preserve soil fertility, water quality, and biodiversity.
Fair Trade ensures that producers of certified goods receive adequate profit. Buying fair trade acknowledges that producers deserve a decent quality of life and provides them the resources to build a more secure economy. Look for the fair trade label on many commodities like coffee, chocolate, tropical fruit, clothing and furniture.
Education provides tools and context for responsible decision making. When communities support education, people are both empowered and better prepared to address personal and societal challenges.
Bicycling provides cheap, reliable, efficient means of transportation without the reliance on fossil fuels. At the same time, it is an easy way to incorporate exercise into a busy schedule.
Solar, wind, and biomass are gaining momentum as economically viable energy sources. By supporting these forms of alternative energy you are recognizing the limits of the current energy system and better preparing for changes in the future.
Your dollar goes furthest when it stays close to home. By supporting business models that emphasize investing in local economy, you create a more self reliant community that has the resources to provide members with a higher standard of living and the ability to resist the homogenization of corporate culture.
Many resources are discarded every day along with waste. Biodegradables, plastics, papers, and metals are particularly valuable, yet make up a large percentage landfill content. By supporting infrastructure that reclaims these resources youacknowledge the finite nature of earth’s resources, and you reduce the need to extract raw materials.

As society moves swiftly through the first decade of the millennium, there is a growing consensus among the general population that we must think more sustainably. Humans are not above the natural order of planet Earth; instead, we are a very influential and frequently destructive piece of the puzzle. With more than 6.5 billion human residents on earth, projected at 9 billion by 2050, it is crucial that we begin to think about living in a different way. We must recognize finite resources, we must not tolerate exploitation of the environment or other humans, and we must believe that a healthy planet is one that will sustain human life for generations to come but not at the expense of biodiversity.
�e Athens Green Guide is designed as a tool for you to locate businesses, organizations and public services that are making an impact on the sustainability of the region and consequently the world. Not all locations are considered equally sustainable; some are more progressive than others. It is important to realize that every entity has room to grow and enhance its commitment to sustainability. As consumers and tax payers, you have the power to catalyze change. By supporting businesses, organizations and services that demonstrate sustainable practices, you are sending a message that it is a marketable trait to be socially and environmentally conscious.
�is guide was printed in black and white in order to minimize the cost of reproduction. Please copy it and pass it on to a friend or a total stranger!
�is is the first edition of the Athens Green Guide, and it is an evolving project– input is welcome. Please feel free to direct questions, comments, and any desire to assist in future projects to Sam Pepple. [email protected]
