Taking Action for Earth Day
In celebration of this year’s Earth Day–only two weeks away–the American Clay blog will feature a series of articles highlighting the best tips and sources for greening up. With so much information available, going green is easy. Even better, it usually has the benefit of being cheaper as well as healthier. Today’s post is all about finding information. Listed here are the three best green websites this writer could find, complete with great advice for reducing your impact on our planet. If you don’t see your favorite green source listed here, please comment on this post to share it with us! 1. TreeHugger’s How to Go Green Guides. Undoubtedly, TreeHugger is the largest source of green news, but with such a huge site, it can feel a bit overwhelming. Enter TreeHugger’s Go Green Guides. Simple, easy to use and to the point. Organized by topic and continuing to grow, TreeHugger covers it all, from greening your funeral to greening your baby. 2. Planet Green. Made by the same folks over at TreeHugger, “Planet Green is your user’s guide to living mindfully on this big blue marble we all call home,” reads their website. It’s all about creativity here. My favorite posts include How to Make a Brimmed Beanie from an Old Sweater and Turn an Unwanted Shirt into a Scented Sachet. If you want to keep it simple, check out their Detox Your Home page, breaking up greening tips room by room. 3. The Daily Green. This is a great site for getting started. Take a How Green are You? quiz to see what you need to work on, or check out their 5 Easy First Steps. But, most impressive is the New Green Cuisine section, an enormous collection of delicious recipes, as well as information on how staying healthy. |
