In the unforgettable words of one Kermit the frog, ‘Being green isn’t easy’. Today people are more environmentally and socially conscious than ever before.

Endorsed by the National Wildlife Federation and the Natural Resources Defense Council, Catalog Choice is making a bid to help you save the world. Catalogs—Americans are ridiculously overloaded with the things; they arrive in the mailbox, daily, and most of them deal with bizarre tchotchkes and hideous dolls and playthings you'd never want your child to see. To make this planet a little bit greener, and save some precious trees on the way, Catalog Choice lets you opt out of the catalog game, catalog by catalog. How it works: register, find and decline catalogs using the site's search... read more

Being green's a bitch. Kermit was right. Even though you drive a fancy Prius, you go for paper rather than plastic, you don't buy paper towels, you recycle, you have a compost, and you're the head of your neighborhood's green committee, you've probably tossed garbage on some beach somewhere or maybe you work for an oil company. Worry no more, salvation, (of sorts) is at hand. TrueGreenConfessions is the eco equivalent of the confessional booth. Instead of the 'bless me father for I have sinned' spiel, you're encouraged to rattle out your earth damaging peccadillos. The site is filled with... read more

Being environmentally conscious has moved beyond fad and new-aged gestures into the popular imagination; it’s the thing to do. Gore won an Oscar, in the end, and the polar ice caps really are melting. Facts. Undeniable. So now how does the average, every day citizen make the planet greener? Joining MakeMeSustainable, a community dedicated to the environment and sustainable living, is a good start. How it works: first you register and fill out information about how you live, e.g. what kind of home you have, how many people live there, do you rent or own, monthly electricity use, heating... read more
