Help Easy Greensy… Share With Me

My dilemma:

I’ve been spending the last few days going through my RSS feeds chock full of eco, sustainable, and green blogs trying to catch up with a few weeks of posts over several hundred websites. I finally gave up and decided I needed a fresh start. I had to clear the last few days worth of articles (over 1700) and start clean.

What I need from you:

I need some fresh sources for information. All I need is a few seconds of your time to share your favorite online source for environmental information. It can be your own blog or website, or one that you like to read regularly. If it is your own, you can rest assured I’m only looking for ideas for new content, and I always credit my sources when I quote another site, as seen here and here. Please leave a comment with your favorite eco sites.

But thats not all:

I need one more thing, and that’s for you reading this right now to also share this request with anyone else you know who cares about the environment. From global warming and air pollution, to sustainability and resources. I want to cover it all, but I just don’t know the best places to learn everything.

Please take a few more seconds to share this article on your favorite social networking site. You can use the buttons below, or if your favorite site isn’t there you can suggest one for me to add!

The Environment and I both thank you for sharing!

US EPA Lists Daily Environmental Health Tips

Mike — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:47:57 +0000

Each day for the month of October the EPA will be sharing action steps that you can take at home to protect children from environmental health contaminants.

After a quick scan of the list. Most of the topics they address are good general practice for everyone. Food safety, pesticide reduction and mold issues are a few of the daily topics they address.

In order to help keep everyone informed about these useful tips, I’ll be including each tip in my occasional “Links Post”. But feel free to check out the EPA website if you want to sneak ahead.

Take Your Green Website to the Next Level

Mike — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:23:54 +0000

Are you a green blogger? Do you have a website? Well just how green is your website? Many of us think websites are a greener method of communicating our ideas over tradition print media, but websites are still pretty hefty consumers of resources. Besides the materials used to build all of the servers and electronic devices, website hosting is a major consumer of electricity. Any respectable website hosting provider will house their servers in high security, climate controlled facilities adding to the energy needs to keep our sites up and running.

Well HostGator, my long term hosting provider has recently decided to “green up” their act. They have purchased enough renewable energy credits from local wind farms to not only cover the consumption of their data centers, but an additional 30% has been purchased.

Of course there is debate over how well these credit and offset systems work, but the sad truth is it would be extreamly difficult for any company to generate its own electricty. This give us a fair chance to support renewable energy sources, and prove the demand for new renewable facilities.

So how green is your website? If your srever isn’t being powered by wind I highly recomend that you check out HostGator. Their plans are extreamly affordable, and in the many years I’ve been a customer I’ve never had a major support problem. The small issues the

inevitabley come up have been solved quickly by an excellant support staff.

Environmental Blog Break

Mike — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:03:38 +0000

Today I took an environmental break and didn’t use any energy at all. I didn’t use any electricity for 15 hours and had no need to drive the car. It wasn’t really my choice, but it was a good feeling anyway. The power lines were down from a strong storm last night. I was however able to come up with some great ideas to share. I’ll be getting them out soon.

I’m also working on a multi-part series about composting that I’m hoping well dispel some negative thoughts about the process. Hopefully we can encourage everyone (even you apartment dwellers) to consider finding a second use for food scraps.

In the meantime here are some of my favorite green blogs for you to enjoy. (Trust me the entire list would overwhelm anybody.)

Forced Green - Living a natural life in an industrial world
Green Living Tips - Earth friendly advice for a greener planet.
Groovy Green – An online magazine made up of writers and videographers passionate about the environment and sustainability.
Things That Make You Go Green - Join us as we go Green, one step at a time.

Thanks for keeping up!Similar Posts:

Forced Green » Planet Green Channel

Mike — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:22:06 +0000

As I mentioned last week, Planet Green is now on the air. I’ve been watching it pretty regularly and find many of the shows interesting.

My favorite is Alter Eco.

Alter Eco is an eco lifestyle and makeover series presented by Adrian Grenier and his entourage of green activists, experts, and friends. As all work and no play makes for a dull show, Adrian always concludes Alter Eco with a meal or a gathering where he and his green team celebrate their accomplishments for the week.

Coming soon is the show Linda at Forced Green mentions; Greensburg.

On May 4, 2007, a deadly tornado struck Greensburg, Kansas, ripping the town to shreds. Ninety-five percent of the town was destroyed, eleven lives were tragically lost, and survivors were left without homes, businesses, schools and basic city services. Greensburg was gone, and it seemed that all was lost for its residents.
