We sure do love browsing Instagram for inspiration, cuteness and overall as the alternative to whiny Facebook feeds. And when we start to get a little gloomy about the shorter, colder days of fall – a picture can say 1000 words. Like “there’s still hope outside!” Or “Look at the cool things people are doing in Philly.”

We searched the web to share our favorite Instagram accounts that capture the best of sustainable and healthy living in our city! (And make sure to follow us on Instagram while you’re thinking about it.)
