Going Green Websites?

Question

for my senior project, I have to do a service project. I am planning on starting a "going green" program at my school, or at least a good recycling program. Do you know of any GREAT websites devoted to the environment?

Answer 1

Here's a few. eartheasy has been my favorite so far. And of course treehugger.

Answer 2

the best one in my opinion is

www.myspace.com/ourplanet

you can buy the book too it's called,

myspace our planet.

it's amazing and relates to an average teen, young adult, and grown persons life. i let all my friends borrow it and they're all doing a little more for mother nature now.

www.gogreen.com could work.  Here are some ideas that I can think of too just incase!:

~Of course, recycle everything you can! (Ex: cans, bottles, plastics, paper, ect.)

~Buy energy saving light bulbs

~Buy things like clothes, paper, ect that are made from recycled materials

~Use reusable batteries or recycle dead batteries properly

~Use reusable shopping bags

~If you have plastic shopping bags, use them instead of just tossing them. They can be used to pick up dog poo, line small trash cans, ect.

~Try not to use paper napkins or paper towel as much as possible. Instead use cloth napkins that can be washed.

~Try to use fewer paper plates and more washable ones.

~Take shorter showers

~Turn off lights whenever possible

~Try to buy more organic foods and local foods (for example, at a farmer's market)

~Use regular silverware, not plastic

~Use eco friendly products in replace of regular dish washing liquids, house cleaners, ect. (Greenworks)

~Use cold water to wash clothes (Tide Cold water works great)

~On a nice day, turn off the air/heat and open some windows. You save of the cost, get a nice fresh breeze, and help the environment.

~Plant trees around your house to shade and save on using more air conditioning

~Buy one stainless steel, reusable, water bottle instead of using regular plastic ones and then getting rid of them. This one you can clean and use over and over again!

~Change the setting on your sprinklers to use less water

~Buy eco friendly fertilizers (I think they have them at Home Depot)

~Buy or lease a hybrid if possible

~Walk or ride a bike wherever possible

~Carpool if possible

Good luck :)

Answer 4

There's this one http://easygreenlife.blogspot.com/ that shows you different products and ways to live a more green life. Its showed me a lot of things that I didn't even know existed, like recycled tin foil, which can also be recycled.

Good luck with your project!
