If 10,000 NY Biters buy a locally grown apple instead of one shipped long-distance, we'll cut out the weight of over 1 bil pairs of walking shoes in CO2 from the air.

The average New Yorker walks about 3.4 mph.

On the Shopping Block

The Bite

Looking to cut out of the regular hangouts? Carve out a few new shopping, eating, and relaxing places by taking a Green Boroughs walking tour. These casual three-hour tours - which cover areas such as Park Slope, the West Village, Chelsea, and SoHo - will give you the inside scoop on all things eco in the ‘hood, including where to buy the best local and organic produce, shop sustainable style, and explore out-of-the-way gardens and parks. Tour guide and eco-activist Les Judd led us to Vere Chocolate factory, where we plan to go shopping for blocks of Raspberry and Lemon Organic sweets...frequently.
