Hi
world,
From
the most vehement eco warrior to the person just wanting to save
money, many of us lose faith, spending too much time on the internet
hoping to find the thing that will save the planet, ease our
consciences, and cost us less money. The reality is that there is no
one thing; there are many, and all of us working together is what
will ease our climate and environmental woes. Power in numbers.
For
those of us who aren't finding what we're looking for or want to keep
in touch with new products or ideas, new causes and foundations,
we've compiled a list of ten, in no particular order:
Articles,
products, and ideas. EcoGeek.org is an amazing resource for what is
new and upcoming on the sustainability front. Also, Hank Green.
More
than just amazing photography, National Geographic has an entire
section devoted to the environment which includes articles, news, and
educational quizzes as well as spectacular images to inspire you.
Just
what you would think: organisations that work to preserve natural
heritage through purchase or donation to encourage nature's
processes. Volunteer, donate, sponsor.
Bringing
science, technology, engineering, and math to Canadian (sorry, rest
of the world) youth. Through this, they can inspire young minds and
make our future better, for the next ecologically friendly device
will be made by them.
Way
beyond just wildlife preservation, WWF is working toward a 100%
renewable future through renewable energy mapping, driving an energy
revolution, and climate-smart planning and adaptation. Responsible
for Earth Hour City Challenge, WWF is pushing us to be better.
This
blog gives tips and ideas to adopt an environmentally-friendly
lifestyle in everyday decisions. Well-researched and comprehensible,
this is an easy introduction for those who want to make good choices
day to day.
Focussing
primarily on eco-friendly architecture and design, Inhabitat also
offers a plethora of articles on various products, technology,
energy, transportation. This is a good overall site with a lot of
ideas and news.
For
new businesses and products, this is the place to go. This blog not
only has many helpful hints and ideas for ecopreneurs, but products
and clean tech.
From
eco-friendly ergo office posts to a discussion about NASA's proposal
for fuel-efficient aircraft, Ecoki is a great resource. Science,
technology, fashion, travel, all green, all under one roof.
You
didn't think we'd leave ourselves off, did you? With a new,
innovative technology and design, our Peco-M Systems are eco-friendly
and once installed, require no maintenance or even thought, other
than asking yourself why you didn't get this earlier every time you
see a power bill.
So,
world, what did we miss? What are your favourite sites and companies
to look for eco-friendly ideas and innovations? Tell us in the
comments below.
