Upper Green Side

Upper Green Side is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that promotes awareness and action on local environmental issues on the Upper East & Upper West Sides of Manhattan involving sustainable food, clean transportation, energy efficiency, and waste reduction. We are building a healthy community and environment for our own well-being and generations to come.

To find out more about us, join our Meetup groups or come to one of our events. Upper Green Side maintains regular tables at the local Greenmarkets every weekend. On Saturdays we are at the 82nd Street market between First Avenue and York. On Sundays, you can find us at the 92nd Street market on First Avenue between 92nd and 93rd Streets. Come say hello and get involved!
