Greenovate Boston Greenovate Boston is a movement - a way for everyone in the City to work together to improve our planet, communities, businesses, and daily lives. If every person in the City of Boston committed to five small, new actions the City could reach its 2020 climate goal sooner. These actions don't require a whole lifestyle change: it's as simple as switching to cold water when doing the laundry or dishes. Or making a car-free commute every other Friday. Or turning your computer off at night.

At HONEST TEA they embrace the simplicity of tea - water and leaves.

For generations, cultures around the world have enjoyed tea grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers and they do not include them in their recipes today.
