Climate change, ecology, nature, environment, eco-friendly politics, non-profit projects, human rights, preservation, wildlife... all that we care about.
Across the internet, you’ll find a world of information on environmental news, how to live green, how to calculate your carbon footprint, tips on saving energy, and so forth. More sites, programs, widgets and applications come out every single day. Obviously, you can’t keep track of them all. How do you decide which ones are [...]
You may be a person who lives the green lifestyle. You may recycle, buy organic and locally, and use a form of renewable energy source.

People carpool together or take the bus to save money; and possibly to also reduce their carbon footprint. For those that are more eco-minded, they walk or ride a bike wherever they need to go.

Nanotechnology has already sparked worries concerning its possible toxicity and unknown environmental impacts. Another recent concern about nanotech is that it may use far more energy than its tiny scale suggests. Nanotech is, in essence, technology that operates on the atomic or molecular level, or that which can be measured between one and 100 nanometers [...]
These days, everything you do has to be eco-friendly – flying eco-friendly; eating eco-friendly; dressing eco-friendly etc. Before you know it, there will be eco-friendly marriages and births (assuming no one has thought of it yet.) So why leave out vacations from that list? So, how do you go from point A to point B [...]
