For your long weekend, here are a few web sites for your enjoyment and edification:
Planet Green — supported by the Discovery Company and the internet counterpart to Planet Green’s 24/7 television broadcasting, this site is slick, full of categories (including travel tips, scads of recipes and even the bizarre like Gutter Gardening). Loads of content, which makes sense — it hast corporate backing!
Green.org is like Facebook and CNN meshed together — it’s a bland site and would probably be better defining itself as “news” or “networking,” but it’s one of the few websites that covers news as it affects the environment — so if you’re an issues Eco-Hero, check them out!
National Geographic’s web site, Green Guide, is a bit like the online eco-version of Ladies’ Home Journal. The categories and stories abound in short, readable online articles. From health to food to kids to local, the site is easy to navigate.
The Nag–a sassy British take on environmentalism — they have tips and a crap prize draw, but more importantly, they’ve established a great model for social activism. Enviro-Girl is still trying to figure out how effective this approach is, but gosh, it’s a fun site!
On the London Front, Guerrilla Gardening is both inspiring and fun to read. Social activism in action, it’s incredible to see what this group has managed to achieve all over the world by getting their hands dirty.
Fake Plastic Fish – Beth Terry has declared a one-woman war against plastics. Check out her site — she makes you think and she’ll make you change.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
Oh goody — more stuff to read! I’m looking forward to diving in and seeing what I learn. Thanks for the links!
Great! It may rain tomorrow morning; perfect time to sit around and read green blogs.
Loved looking at the Brit ones, many thanks!
