As I near the end of my first weekly task, I am beginning to wonder if the internet ever runs out of information. This week my task is to start following specific sites and also to find new blogs or sites to share with my wife. I am beginning to experience information overload and need your help. Can you help me find 3-5 green blogs or sites that I should pass along to my wife?
Beyond the sites she wants me to find, she also asked me to follow The Daily Green, Tree Hugger, and worldwatch.org. She will be proud, as I have been keeping up with these sites every day. These environmentally friendly sites have certainly been giving me plenty of information and I am learning all sorts of interesting green information. Everything from news about green legislation to how to make paper from garbage… I am being learned in the ways of hippiedom.
After I complete all of the “required” reading, I have been looking around the internet for other interesting and unique green sites. Among the plethora of green information I have waded through, there have been a few sites that have seemed to stand out for me. These are not necessarily the sites I will pass along to meet my requirements, but have certainly been interesting. First, I found Franke James and found it to be a very fun green and eco-friendly site. Franke James is an author/artist/photographer who won me over with her visual essays that I would label as children’s book for grownups. Pictures are always a bonus! Check out Paradise Unpaved for a good example of her work.
I also found Go Green Street. This site provides a variety of useful information that is organized in a manner that is very easy to navigate. The easy navigation and great content make this site one that I will continue to visit. Lastly, I found EnviroGadget. I love toys and this will be a site I will continue to watch. I noticed on the front page, they listed a solar/crank powered radio flashlight that I already own and bring ice fishing with me. Very handy little item.
I have found a few interesting sites that give me a variety of information, but I want to make sure I am getting the best bang for my buck. Check out the sites that I have mentioned and let me know in the comments section below if you have a great green or eco-friendly site/blog that you would recommend. Your help is greatly appreciated!
