LIME LOCAL

Kicking off in the metro markets of Atlanta, Austin, Denver, Boulder and Portland, LIME LOCAL is the new local user-generated resource to favorite places and is the one-stop destination to find everything healthy and green in your neighborhood this holiday season. Crafting your own green holiday meal couldn't be easier as you'll find where to buy an organic turkey, local produce, find healthy holiday recipes and practitioners to help you release that holiday stress.

Neighborhood Greens

ATLANTA - Looking for an all-day breakfast place that's not a diner? Try The Flying Biscuit, Atlanta's own cheery café featuring vegetarian and vegan options. Plus, you can still get your biscuit fix and homemade apple butter to boot. Need a way to get there? You can find that too. Jump in a Flexcar; it's like an eco-friendly rental, but better because you don't pay for gas or insurance.

AUSTIN - If you're in the giving mood, be a volunteer at the Sustainable Food Center in Austin, Texas. Work in the garden with kids, at the farmers market, or in the Happy Kitchen, a nationally recognized cooking and nutrition education program.

BOULDER - If you happen to be passing through Boulder, CO gazing at those gorgeous Flatiron Mountains and suddenly you've just got to have your Wild Oats Market, fear not. There are three just in Boulder. And for those other emergencies, we'll lead you to Ecobunz for hemp and organic cotton cloth diapers and other baby accessories.

DENVER - Don't let travel mess up your exercise routine. Pilates Aligned is there for you on the next business trip to Denver. Mat classes are $15 and Duets (semi-private) sessions are just $35 per person.

PORTLAND - Little Flicker has the best natural and environmentally friendly candles in Portland. Let them light your way to great prices, great service, 100 percent beeswax and all natural soy blends.
