If you’re regular readers of this blog (and/or of the GGirlsG) you’re probably beyond the ‘7 easy steps to save the planet’ stage in your life, but I still want to tell you about the lovely newly redesigned Do The Green Thing because I think that these guys (as well as The Nag which I [...]

Dirty Old Coal is back on the agenda. Due to public and goverments’ panic around soaring oil prices (which seem to be on the decline again), there are plans the world over for more coal-fired power plants: India has plans to build another 73 coal plants in the next 10 years.

I just stumbled upon this lovely EcoSearch. These guys re-skinned google and created a nonprofit search that raises money for other environmentally nonprofits.

“As citizens and as consumers, we may not be able to wield a great deal [...]

A must read for everyone interested in green marketing is Russell Davies’ presentation at Applied Green that took place last year. Russell is the big daddy of planners and communications strategists in the UK as well as globally.

Good Magazine has a great graphic depicting the economic implications of leaving appliances plugged in for an entire year. We all know that a minuscule amount of energy is being consumed just by leaving a device plugged in – but, an average consumer with a reasonable electronics collection will waste around $300 leaving all those [...]

Ever asked yourself why what you can call ‘green aesthetics’ are so unimaginative? Best case in point is energy-efficient light bulbs – why are they so generically bad looking?
