About Green Boroughs
Les Judd launched Green Boroughs on Earth Day, April 22, 2007. The company's mission is to promote everything that is green/eco-friendly in the five boroughs of New York City.
Les Judd is a lifelong environmentalist. One of his fondest memories is of being part of a volunteer cleanup of the local brook in Ossining, NY where he grew up. Les was a founding member and leader of the environmental action committee at his synagogue, B'nai Jeshurun on the Upper West Side. He is the coordinator of the NYC Vegetarians, a social club for vegetarians and vegetarian friendly New Yorkers. Les has been a hike and urban walking tour leader for various groups over the years.
Les has a BA in Anthropology from SUNY Brockport and an MPA in Non-Profit Administration from New York University. His professional experience includes ten years in NYC government and several years as an Accounts Payable Specialist for Cabrini Medical Center. He always wanted to work for an environmental organization but had difficulty finding the right fit. Finally, in April, 2007 he decided to launch his own for-profit company to promote green business and green living in New York City.
