Who We Are

Upper Green Side is a non-profit organization that promotes awareness and action on local environmental issues in 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 meetings. On the East Side we usually meet the last Wednesday of the month at All Souls Unitarian Church (80th & Lex). As we start up on the West Side will probably be meeting at different member’s homes.


This is an interview with Glenn McAnanama, Upper Green Side’s Founder and current President. This short seven minute video shows his responses to a wide variety of questions about neighborhood organizing, running efficient meetings and personal steps he has taken to make his lifestyle more environmentally sustainable.
