If 10,000 Chicago Biters spend $1 at a locally owned store, we’ll pour between $50,000 and $140,000 back into our community.

According to researchers, sustainability-conscious consumers now number more than 35 mil people, or 16% of the adult American population.

Clip and Save

The Bite

If you run into Joseph Adamek or Dan White, co-founders of MeGoGreen - Chicago’s directory of all things green - give them a big eco high-five. MeGoGreen maintains a green search engine, business directory, and education resource, and now you can clip a coupon and save a school (among other things) with its MeGoGreen Savings Guide. For $25, you’ll get up to $6,000 in discounts from more than 100 local eco-friendly shops and service providers such as I-GO Car Sharing, Nau clothing, and Maddy’s Organic Meals. In turn, MeGoGreen gives green back to the community, partnering with local schools and nonprofs such as Seven Generations Ahead, builders of eco-sustainable communities. Coupon clipping never felt so good.

Wanna Try

These green boys head for coffee and eats at the organic co-op Wild Tree Café, 1100 Davis St. at Oak Ave., Evanston (847-425-9691).
