I just spent a few hours blog surfing. I wanted to add a few more green blogs to my blog roll. I decided that I need to take some more time to refine the criteria. The explosion of environmentally themed blogs, like most explosions, has expanded in all directions. The tag lines say it all…
There is How being green can be sassy, sexy and fun. The blog is called Green and Clean Mom and it has a forum and frequent giveaways.
There is Sustainable Innovation, and Green Tech for Savvy Green Consumers, Readers and Thinkers. Ecoble’s tagline is pretty wordy, but it’s content lives up to the hype. The savvy readers that the blog is reaching out to can find links to 18 free Green eBooks in a recent post.
Some green blogs are very personal, while others are almost completely impersonal. Some green blogs are trying to sell you stuff and others are pleading with you to stop buying stuff. Some blog authors are all about documenting their personal dedication to specific aspects of environmental responsibility, while others offer their expert advice on econews. Some try to do several things at once. Examining a wide swath of the green blogosphere has given me what I hope is only a temporary identity crisis with regard to my own blog. I will start adding to the blogroll tomorrow.
Here is a picture that I took in Ireland last January. It looked greener in real life, but not that much greener.
