The Coffee Corner

1182 Walnut St , Newton Highlands, MA, 617-964-0609

This is just around the corner from where I work, and I only discovered it today! It's a really cute little cafe on the corner and definitely something to be checked out!
I gave it a 5 in goodness, because everything is so fresh! I had a BLT (well, JimmyB had the T). The lettuce was soo fresh and crunchy and the bacon was cooked to perfection. They also make smoothies and juice drinks. Every morning they have cookies, bagles and other pastries delivered to them. Everything looked delicious and I look forward to trying it all!

Ula Cafe

284 Amory St, Jamaica Plain, MA, 617-524-7890

I have only been here once, but I absolutely loved my first experience with Ula Cafe! The staff was all very friendly and accommodating. They had nutella, which is one of my favorites, and something that is rather hard to come by. They also had popovers! And for anyone who has had popovers before, these are among the best. It was so delicious. I was very pleased with the selection of their menu and the yumminess of everything that I ate (popover with nutella and some coffee).

JUICE GUYS

4 Easy St , Nantucket, MA, 508-228-4464

Juice Guys, is this amazing little smoothie shop right near the harbor on Nantucket. Their smoothies are made with real fruit, so everything taste very fresh and delicious. Also, Juice Guys seems to be quite green. They always have several recycling receptacles readily available for customers to drop their glass bottles, cans and plastic cups into. Also, the sleeves they use for their cups are made from recycled papers and materials, which then can be recycled again.

Whole Foods Markets

161 Cambridge St , Boston, MA, 617-723-0004

I really, really, really love this Whole Foods. I don't really shop at any other Whole Foods, besides the one near my house (near MGH), but I must say, that I probably wouldn't want to. The people are so nice, and extremely helpful. I am a huge sushi fan, and the guys behind that counter are always willing to make you some fresh rolls. Not to mention, for store bought, their sushi is quite tasty! It's always clean and never hard to locate an item.

DONALAN GROUP REALTY

316 Newbury St , Boston, MA, 617-262-3769

Donalan Group Realty is located on Newbury street and services apartments all over the city. The company is made up of two business partners who are dedicated to providing their tenants with the best service and living facilities that they can. Because there are only two owners, you get to know each of them personally, which makes for a truly great experience. These are among the many reasons why I give the Donalan Group a 5 in goodness.

DELUCAS MARKET & WINE SHOP

11 Charles St , Boston, MA, 617-523-4343

This market is just around the corner from my house, and I have been shopping there for many years. Being just a block away, makes it extremely convenient for me and I couldn't be happier about that, because the market is absolutely fabulous, and I have been very spoiled for being able to stop over there whenever I please. However, just the other day I was in there and I decided to inquire about the recycling habits and such. But before I even got to that, I noticed that they only stock plastic bags and not paper ones.

THE UPPER CRUST

20 Charles St , Boston, MA, 617-723-9600

I absolutely love Upper Crust Pizza!! They have the best thin crust pizza anywhere! And after a little inquiry, it seems that they are somewhat green too. They recycle their cans and bottles daily. Also, something that I found very cool and fascinating is the fact that every shop have bikes that deliver the pizzas. They said that usually each shop as 1-2 bikes and about 3 cars...The bikes part is great...the cars part, not so much. I understand that they probably can't just have bikes, but if you have 2 bikes, are 3 cars really necessary?

BACK BAY HAIR DESIGNS

291 Newbury St , Boston, MA, 617-266-0406

I have been going to this salon for years. I absolutely love the people and I always leave with a smile on my face. Compared to most of the salons in this area, their prices are relatively cheap, yet the cuts, coloring and styling are up to par. They can do anything you want them to, and they never cut too much, or do more than you specifically asked. There's always a great vibe buzzing around the busy little salon.

BAKERS BEST CAFE

27 Lincoln St , Newton Highlands, MA, 617-332-4588

Baker's Best has some of the tastiest food around. If you are ever in the mood for a hearty sandwich or wrap, Baker's Best is the perfect choice. However, if you are looking for somewhere that not only serves great sandwiches and pastries, but serves it in a green environment, Baker's Best might not be the place for you. It was very clear from the moment I walked in, that going green wasn't exactly a priority. I did not seen any recycling bins or areas. Even the regular trash receptacles were quite inaccessible.

DOLPHIN SEAFOOD

1105 Massachusetts Ave , Cambridge, MA, 617-661-2937

I really enjoy the seafood at this restaurant. They have some of the best calamari in Boston. I have been going to this restaurant ever since I was a little girl, but just recently I decided to take a closer look at the greenness of this childhood favorite. I called them one afternoon, and what I found troubled me. When I asked a series of simple questions, such as their recycling habits, their seafood source and what they do with unused food, the girl on then other end was unable to help me and told me that I would have to speak with the owner.
