Going Green Websites?


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?

TreeHugger, Environmental Leader, GreenBiz, WorldChanging, Grist and Viridus are all good ones.

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 :)

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!

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.
