Okay, so at lunchtime one of the city's ever-growing fleet of mobile eateries may park outside your workplace, but for many of us we don't emerge from studio lot bungalows or Wilshire Blvd. high-rises midday--we have to go to where the lunch is.

Tomorrow from Noon to 2, however, you can get your NomNom on right where some of the city's best chocolates come from.

Is it too much to ask that all businesses, big and small, have a Green rating associated with them? Something akin to LA’s restaurant classifications, where the average consumer is clued into the eco-friendliness of establishments and in turn, companies vie for the buyer’s dollars through a public showing (or shaming) of their carbon footprint? While the complications and policing surrounding such an endeavor mean we may have years to wait for a one-letter indication of environmental standing, some forward-thinking folks like Gay Browne, founder of Greenopia, have taken steps towards educating the masses as to the “greenness” of local businesses. Built out of her own need to create a healthy surrounding for herself and her family, Greenopia has evolved from guides to a comprehensive website dedicated to sharing non-paid and well-researched reviews of products, services and organizations that have the environment firmly entrenched in their business model. With Mom’s Day just hours away, Greenopia Los Angeles offers some great ways in which to make the mother in your life happy while keeping your conscience (and the planet) clean.
