The Green Website Guide: For Better Living

Regardless of the endless worldwide arguments and discussions concerning the planet's natural resources and the impact of global warming, there is no doubt that people will increasingly need to take more responsibility for making sustainable choices. The internet hosts a wealth of information on all things green and is an excellent resource for finding out more about the issues, honing down information, and finding practical solutions at a local level; yet the sheer volume of information, much of which is contradictory, can be bewildering. To help readers cut through the mass of material, this essential guide to more than 500 green websites provides a clear map of the truly significant and relevant sites currently out there. Sites are divided into Global—ecology, the carbon debate, animals, plants, the natural world, and oceans, Domestic—energy, home improvements, cleaning, recycling, gardening, and water, and Living—food, personal care, finance, fashion, shopping, transport, travel, funerals, pets, volunteering, and the office. With practical, realistic advice; areas of controversy highlighted with suggestions for further reading; and previews of many sites' content; this guide is unique for not just listing sites but thoroughly reviewing them.
