I would like you to find a Sustainability blog online. Write a brief description of the blog site, pros/cons about the site, and if you would recommend the site to someone who knows nothing about Sustainability.

Happy writing!

This might be the website that I visit most in my day to day life. TH is a blog run by the Discovery Company that reports the latest buzz from around the world about all things sustainable. Topics covered include Cars & Transportation, Science & Technology, Design & Architecture, Culture & Celebrity, Travel & Nature, Food & Health, Business & Politics, and Fashion & Beauty, each one of which shows what’s up in the world of sustainability. It is more than just a blog, though. Aside from news, the site boasts forums, a “How to Go Green” section, and even green buying guides. Here are some pros and cons of the site:

Pros: more than 30 posts per day, passionate bloggers, intuitive site layout, great resource for the budding greeny, global perspective, wide topic range

Cons: some politically biased reporting, mountains of articles to sort through, ads, the occasional angry rant

The site truly has something for people of any interest, so would I recommend it to a friend who knows nothing about sustainability?
You Betcha!

The sustainability blog I found is one called the Burlington Legacy Project (http://burlingtonlegacyproject.org/). It's main mission is that "It affirms that growth can only happen together with a firm
commitment to preserving our city’s physical and natural
environment, maintaining open space, and strengthening the
integrity and quality of life in our neighborhoods and
families...begins with
investing in greater educational, employment, social, and
recreational opportunities for the young people of today."
The website outlines what Burlington is envisioning to look like in 2030. Under the Environment section there is a long list of different projects Burlington is or would like to see happen. These include: Climate Action Plan, Waste Reduction Composting Pilot at City Hall, Solar Power in Schools, No Idling Campaign, CarShareVT memberships, Local Food in Schools and Urban Forestry, just to name a few.
The website is well mapped out with pictures and aesthetically pleasing graphics and descriptions. I also really liked how the whole project was set up by a bunch of community members who care and the website doesn't just give the credit to a small group of higher up individuals.
I think one thing that could be improved is showing the scale of progress completed on each of the activity fronts that are in attempts to be completed.

The sustainability blog that I found is titled "Towards Sustainability". The blogger, Julie, is an Australian mother of three interested in reducing her ecological footprint by gardening and harvesting fruits and vegetables which her family consumes, reducing her consumption of earth-harming products and reusing materials by sewing and making homemade products. The blog includes "how-to's" on things like making natural cosmetics and organic dog food. She writes a new post about every other day, updating readers on her new projects, the status of her garden and ecofriendly recipes. I personally think Julie's blog is very well put together. The site is easy to navigate and the posts are well written and easy to understand, whether you are a veteran or novice ecoadvocate. Julie provides links to other eco-blogs as well as environmentally related books so that readers can look else where for information on becoming sustainable. The page is also bright and cheery, full of vivid images, naturally drawing the reader in. I highly recommend the blog to anyone interested. It can be found at http://www.towards-sustainability.com/.

Check it: http://www.treehugger.com/

TreeHugger is a great place to find all sorts of green goodies including an awesome blog. They have video clips, links to other like-minded sites, and photos, plus other great stuff like surveys, interviews, games, and ways for you to get involved. They even have a tab titled "TreeHugger Green Basics" for someone who may be a first-timer with sustainability. The site is so jam-packed that I could spend all day exploring it. I think the only drawback is the site may be a little overwhelming for someone who has never visited it before--they have so much stuff! Definitely worth checking out.

I came across a rather advanced and well laid-out blog called GreenMonk (greenmonk.net). I am surprised at the detail of the writing and the amount of intelligent commentary. It really looks more like it is supported by a business, rather than what I usually think of when I think of blogs, which is jut someone talking about their ideas (and not traveling to big IBM meetings on “smarter cities, etc.”). This individual (Tom is his name) actually goes places and does quite profound things in an attempt to get some good breadth of knowledge onto the site. Some of this includes test-driving the new, fully-electric Nissan Leaf and including a video of the experience. There is also a posting about Maine using LED lighting to cut its energy emissions.
I must say that I really am quite surprised. I can see no cons about the site, save for a couple minor typos, so nothing to shake a stick at. I would not recommend this site to someone who does not know anything about sustainability because this blog discusses advanced topics that are quite detailed. I think that it has the potential to be overwhelming for someone who knows nothing about sustainability to begin with. Also, there are links everywhere and so the amount of detail confuses me, which I suppose is a con as well.

I found the UVSP (University of Victoria Sustainability Project) @ uvsp.uvic.ca. This blog is basically a compilation of what's going on at the university in terms of sustainability as well as educationing students and faculty on the issues. Their goal is to increase the participation on environmental issues. I'd say this site does a good job of reaching people online through this blog, which could be seen as just a different format of our EcoReps blog. I particularly like how it is an "organized blog" in that they have clear sections, especially events. I'd say any student at this university would greatly benefit from adding this site to their "feed", though obviously it doesn't as fully apply to those who don't attend the university. If people care even a little bit they can occasionally check a blog and it will have info and updates that they might find useful, making it convenient and practical.

This blog is an excellent resource for all sorts of information on sustainability. It posts other articles and important info about sustainability. I feel like it is a fairly reliable source and it is quite helpful. It provides sustainability issues from all over the world, not just from the US, which is refreshing and proves that we are not the only country that has problems and is trying to fix them. It also talks about some of the biggest issues with sustainability such as green washing. He provides links to other websites and articles and most of these are quite helpful. It also proves to be a good site because he is upgrading to a better one. The only downside to the blog is the fact that they blog itself isn't very interesting and there is a lack of information on how to further sustainability and how to contribute more to to sustainable efforts. I feel as if he had added these these elements the blog would be much more enjoyable and helpful.

I found a sustainability blog from UNH and it was very interesting to compare the actions of their university to UVM's. One thing I liked about the blog was that it was organized in a way that highlighted current events and also allowed you to learn more about those events in links to other websites. However, the blog entries themselves were longer than I had expected them to be, which made understanding the main points more difficult. In my opinion, blogging is an important means of communication as it is quick and convenient as well as a reflection of many differing ideals. I would recommend this blog to someone who wants to learn about sustainability because it goes into detail on the meaning of sustainability as well as the ways in which UNH works to achieve it

brief description... pros/cons... recommend?

I looked at the GreenMonk blog online. It is basically a blog that offers advisory services to help organizations understand how sustainability will affect them. The goal is to have the entire organization, staff and all, feel like they can actively make change and face our global situation. The site seems affective in the sense that it is well organized and has the characteristics that make a blog easy to use and understandable (like the ability to comment and a 'most popular' list). One thing i notice is that it does a great deal of posing situations and problems - things that are threatening. However, there are few solutions oriented posts. It is a blog that people can look at to see what is going on and what others are doing, etc, but it doesn't seem very aimed to the future in the sense that it communicates upcoming events and ways these organizations can make change and participate in the future.
I like the blog because it is in depth and informative... but it would not be a source to really get involved in the future.

The sustainability blog that I found was The Center for Sustainable Practice in the Arts. Instead of being specifically about sustainable living, this foundation/blog is more aimed towards helping organizations become more ecologically and economically sustainable while maintaining artistic excellence.
I found this site really interesting because as a Studio Art major there are so many options in using recycled or found materials to create amazing pieces of work. This site was really great in recognizing artists who are utilizing such practices, and of galleries and exhibits displaying such works to the public. This site is a prime example of how versatile sustainability is, and how it is applicable to every aspect of one's lifestyle.

The Be Green Blogsite, http://www.begreenblogsite.com/, is pretty cool. It's a series of different articles written on various environmental topics, such as solar panels, driving green, and teaching others how to be more sustainable. The site has a search box so a visitor can type any key word and find all of the articles related to it, which is really nice. Readers can also comment on any of the posts. The con I found with this site is that the blog postings aren't organized in any way other than date, which seems a little messy, but then using the search can solve this. I would recommend this site to someone learning about sustainability, because it covers a wide range of topics and methods that can be used for sustainability.

I found a blog site called SustainAbility. This site is an independent think tank that is meant to inspire businesses to change their behaviors to be more sustainable. I liked this site because it has posts from a wide array of people and it is not just one person who is blogging the whole time. I think that this site may be for people who are more aware of what sustainability is, and its definitely not meant as a beginner website. For people that are already aware of different ways to be sustainable and looking to do this on a bigger scale such as for a family business, then this is a perfect site to use. I liked it because there were different sections such as climate change, consumer brands, globalization, and energy use, where you could look to see specifics of each issue. To sum up, the Eco-Reps would do well to check this site out, because we are trying to green a whole campus and that is similar to greening a business. I would not however recommend it to beginners.

After searching for a short while, I came across a blog titled Sustainable Development (sustainabledev.org). The blog was created by Tim Wilson, an Australian who organizes and promotes discussions on "promot[ing] environmentally, socially and economically sustainable evidence-based public policy for the developing world". I read half a dozen posts on current international policies - including palm oil financing by the World Bank and the UN's Food and Agriculture Org's attempts to sustain agricultural biodiversity. One argument on the latter issue is that a mere dozen species provide 90% of the worlds animal proteins. Over all, I felt that this blog provides mostly straightforward opinions ( although biases are clearly visible) on the increasing issues of sustainability and development around the world, and would surely recommend it as a strong discussion point for those seeking info on current international issues.

One of my Favorite environmental blogs is the BBC's Environmental Green Room. This is an excellent forum for some of the most interesting environmental issues to be posted and discussed at a very high social status. I think one of the biggest Pro is that it's written in simple terms and does not expect entirely too much from the reader - making it easy for a newcomer to Surf to this site, and begin learning about Environmental topics. I definitely suggest this site to my peers and have even posted articles on this site before.

This sustainability blog is one of great value. This blog covers a wide variety of subjects in sustainability such as: climate change, global development, strategies, fashion, and the media's involvement in sustainability. Receiving a wide variety of topics like this is great because it helps broaden your horizons when you read about all sorts of different things. The only con to this blog is that each of these readings assumes you know a little bit about sustainability, so you may be confused with some of the wordings or terms used in a few of the blogs. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this to someone who does not know anything about sustainability because they will definitely learn a thing or two about this crucial topic in our world today.

http://www.sustainabilityforum.com/ is a site that I would recommend to someone who is interesting in gaining more knowledge about sustainability. The website is great because it offers a huge selection of environmental issues to read about. The articles range from the issues of ecotourism to what household items one should use in their home. The overall message of the site is that the choices we make today impact not only our future, but the future of generations to come. There are countless articles-from notable sources. People can make comments right underneath the articles or go to the blog section of the website. Overall, it is very informative and shows the importance of protection our earth.

This particular sustainability blog is mainly about ways to be sustainable or cool inventions that are making the world more sustainable. Some pros of this blog are that is very easy to read (you don't have to be a scientist to understand it), the blog is very current, and the blog is about sustainability around the world, it isn't limited to one place. Some cons of this blog are that anyone can write on it, you can't really tell how accurate the information in the blogs are, and the blogs are very short and lacking sufficient information. I would recommend this blog because it does have a lot of futuristic sustainable inventions that are interesting, it's easy to read even if you don't know anything about sustainability, and there's information from all over the world.

I've always been a huge fan of treehugger.com. Not only is the site extremely resourceful in terms of networking/finding out cool things that are going on, but the whole site is one big blog whose collaborators work with scientists, businesses, etc.! My favorite page is probably food & health, which is where authors blog about awesome new/sustainable/eco-friendly/eco-savvy ideas and items.

Some of the cons of the site, however, is that they've recently had numerous ads on the pages. Another con is that some of the items they blog about (like shoes made out of recycled fabric) aren't available in the U.S. Overall, however, this site is AMAZING. Great articles. Great pics. Great ideas.

Check it out!

http://www.sustainabilityforum.com/

Sustainability Forum is a website I happened upon. It includes forums, news postings and blogs for several different areas of the sustainability world. For example it covers the range from corporate sustainability to sustainable tourism. It even has job postings for within the sustainable job field. I think this site is useful for staying posted on national and global issues in sustainability. However, I believe sustainability should be done at small scale and stress local participation. This website seems overwhelming in the sense that it is all large scale and does not account much for community.

http://www.greeneatsblog.com/

is a wonderful blog about the choices the average person can to eat healthier and more sustainably. The blog has facts about sustainable agriculture, updated news (eg about the FDA renaming high fructose corn syrup to "corn sugar" and the social/environmental implications), recipes, book recommendations, pages about sustainable agriculture, sustainable livestock, and 12 other subcategories.

There are also a ton of links, for example to an article written by this super cool 13 year old who started a Farm Club at his school: http://civileats.com/2010/08/19/introducing-farm-club-because-farming-is-cool/#more-9082
as well as plenty of videos.

There are also many links to sustainable advocacy websites and even a place to enter your zip code where you can find out about local farms, farmer's markets, and sustainable restaurants and grocery stores. Though this site is based in North Carolina, it has many links and connections for people who don't live in the area in addition to all sorts of local harvest info about the Carolinas.

This is by far the most complete and info-filled sustainable blog I have found on the internet. I'd recommend it to anyone to show them how easy it is to make sustainable choices in your life, and how to be informed about it, too.

I found Ma & Pa Parker's Sustainability Blog (http://iparker.com/) through a quick Google search. This blog differs from most of the others discussed in the way that it is not the product of a combined effort of many people and does not cover an extremely wide range of topics. There aren't many entries, but the ones that do exist are interesting albeit scattered, and most recently, an in-depth analysis of a report about fighting oil addiction. The site's entries tend to focus on creative projects and not so much on big-picture items such as policy issues. This blog would be of interest to someone who wants a few suggestions pertaining to homemade goods and reusing materials. For someone with these goals in mind while blog-surfing, this site will satisfy their needs, but if you're looking for a more comprehensive body of knowledge and perhaps more discussion, it would be best to look elsewhere. This was a neat blog to peruse quickly, but I probably wouldn't subscribe to it because it doesn't offer that much.

http://www.thedailygreen.com/

The Daily Green is probably the most comprehensive, practical blog for living sustainably that I know of. Not only are the posts written colloquially, they are highly informative. The blog uses this as a headline: "the consumer's guide to the green revolution". To me, that is great angle to tackle the sustainability dilemma. People are motivated by saving money, and that's exactly what this website delivers best. Recipes, home and garden tips, DIY projects and general sustainability education--The Daily Green has it all. The only gripe I have with the site is not even really the site, but the people who post comments that aren't relevant to anything and just waste everyone's time. Other people's comments are great though, as they add more voices, thus more knowledge and more sustainability.

Recommended? Mmhmm.

This blog is from our neighbors at UNH. Their blog was appealing to me because it doesn't only get into the nitty gritty-ness of sustainability, rather, it educates people on sustainability. There is an option given for new-green-comers of the generation to learn about sustainability. There are also nice sections of the website where you can read about current and new events around the area. This is a very helpful blog.. maybe not for someone who isn't from the area. I'll have to look into it further.

The sustainability blog I found is called 365 Days of Trash. Its not only a blog but a very good website about where your trash goes, how you can dispose of it, and what ways you can reduce your trash. The man running the site is attempting to throw nothing away for a year. I like how it gives you many ideas of what you can do to reduce your trash and dispose of it properly.What is also intersting about this site is not only does is have its own blog but also connects you to multiple blog sites so you can reaseach other environmental problems. I like this because its possible to look at other important issues that may not be present on the website. 365 Days of Trash allows you to create your own blog, this way you are able to share your ideas. From what I see and know there isnt anything missing from this website nor is there anything bad about it. I think its very cool with tons of good info! And it isnt boring, its acutally has funny stories and astonihing facts! Therefore I would definitly recommend this site to a friend who knows nothing about sustainability!

Yale Sustainability Blog

http://yalesustainability.wordpress.com/

The Yale Sustainability Blog has a plethora of information on sustainability and is an oasis for any college student who wishes to reduce their ecological footprint, be more environmentally friendly, and overall be more sustainable. The topics are both broad and narrow, covering everything from sustainable Halloween costumes to recycling bottle caps to sustainability expectations in Australia. Although such a number of topics may otherwise be intimidating for both environmentalists and non-environmentalists, the website is organized such a way that it’s quite easy to navigate to certain archives or to research the topics that you’re most interested in. The information is easy to understand, incredibly interesting, and is presented in formats such as text, pictures, and even videos. If you can’t find what you’re looking for on the Yale Sustainability Blog, you can definitely find it under the links that are provided for on the website, which can lead you to some pretty interesting sites.

Pros: welcoming; intriguing/interesting facts; geared towards college students; nice layout that’s both visually appealing and easily accessible; other websites and blogs provided; a variety of formats

Cons: an emphasis on Yale College (and college in general)

Yale University's Office of Sustainability Blog

My hometown is just down the road from Yale University. I learned about this blog after taking a field trip to the school. It's a great blog with a lot of information that appeals to people our age. From "The Greenest Event of them All" series to sustainable halloween costumes, there are a lot of interesting and fun posts.

Pros: There is a great variety of information, user-friendly layout with easy navigation, great links posted frequently, "Greatest event of all time" is a GREAT series of different events and challenges

Cons: the site is not updated as frequently as other blogs, with a new posting every couple of weeks. However, if you're a newcomer to the site, it has been in existence for since 2007 has a lot of great information already posted.

Blog: Lighter Footsteps on the Mother Nature Network

This site is a great resource for information and articles about the environment. The articles/links available on the site are really varied, you can find interesting material on topics from how to find cheap sustainable clothing to what being LEED certified entails. There are multiple blogs on the Mother Nature Network and all of them are really well written and well researched. I go to this site if I am looking for valid information for classes or eco-reps, but also if I'm just looking for an interesting article to read about the environment.

Pros: well organized, TONS of articles, huge variety of topics and interests (applies to people who have all different levels of interest and knowledge about living an eco-lifestyle), fun layout etc.

Cons: politically biased, a lot of stuff to sort through, can be hard to find specific blogs in the expansive site

Because of the large variety of information available, I think that this blog is accessible to people with all different levels of knowledge about sustainability. I would recommend this blog to anyone!

Offtheurbangrid.com is a blog designed to help the average homeowner take steps to reduce their own carbon footprint. Combatting issues like water usage, green roofs, how to make appliances more efficient, and how to cook using local foods, Off the Urban Grid gives a comprehensive outlook on how to become a better Earth Citizen. Some pros of the blog are that posts seem to cover a multitude of sustainable living ideas and issues. The blog gives ideas for parents, children and any one in between. The cons, there is only one post for every few days. Regardless for those who want to live more ecofriendly in their dorms, apartments or parent's houses, this blog helps you achieve some small steps towards sustainability.

Check this out!! (offtheurbangrid.com)

The blog I found is at the New York Times website: http://green.blogs.nytimes.com.
The blog has news stories about environmental issues, with a main focus on the U.S. but frequent articles about other countries. It has 11 contributors spread over the country, and labels each of its posts as "Science," "Business," "Politics & Policy," or "Living."
Pros:
Multiple posts per day.
News from all over the country with additional topics from around the world.
Covers the human interest and economic aspect of environmental issues.
A giant list of great links to blogs, agencies, jobs, etc.
Accessible but sophisticated language.
Great photos and charts.
Cons:
Not much attention to individual actions (more focused on big news).

I wouldn't recommend this blog to someone who knows nothing about sustainability, but I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be kept updated about large-scale sustainability efforts and challenges.

This blog is really great because it delves into specific and important issues in sustainability, while still remaining interesting and fun to read. A great balance of accurate science and facts and also good writing.

It has a lot of great pictures that you can click on to read the whole article. It also has really interesting captions under the pictures and unique titles that capture the reader and make it a must-read blog.

Blog entry titles are not the usual "how to recycle" and "what is compost, anyway?". The blog's titles range from "The role of journalists and corporates in combating climate change" to "Is cynicism in the media damaging hopes of a sustainable society?" to "New research shows sustainability still high on consumers' agenda despite the recession". Most of the blog posts deal with sustainability in the media, which is an interesting approach. However, a con of this blog might be that it covers a narrow number of topics. However, it is fun and easy to read, and I would definitely recommend it to those who don't know a ton about sustainability.

A sustainability blog I came across was called GAF Sustainability Blog. (http://gaf-sustainability-blog.squarespace.com/) This blog is great for people like me that don’t really know a lot about sustainability and want to learn more about it. There are a few different topics on the blog site but it mostly is based on roofing and how to make them more ‘green’. The blog site is a good one to get started off with but when you’re done reading the blog you should find a new website because the blog website doesn’t really have a lot of blogs on it and it gets updated once every two weeks.

According to the blog, this was "one man's attempt to throw nothing 'away' for a year... and beyond." This person identifies himself as "Sustainable Dave." This personal project of his took place between January 1st, 2008 - December 31st, 2008. He still periodically posts on his blog and has a "Things You Can Do!" section to be just as sustainable.

Some pros and cons of the site:

Pros- very active blogger in a sense that he responds to all that inquire on his site, very open minded, provides great resources, very organized is a realist.

Cons - the experiment is over. no longer blogs as much.

I would definitely recommend the site to anyone! Sustainable Dave had received lots of press about his venture and his site incorporates great videos about how to be as sustainable as possible.

The blog I looked through was the GenGreenlife Blog. It had many posts about many different topics written by a wide range people, from businesses, to environmental activists, to entrepreneurs to authors. Some posts I found were really interesting; a few I came across were: “New Plant Filtration System Turns Used Shower Water into Drinking Water”, “8 Reasons to Say No to Leather”, and “Chicken Feathers and Urine… the Missing Link for Hydrogen Fuel Use and Storage?”. The pros of this blog are that the bloggers are mostly from environmentally friendly companies, environmental entrepreneurs, or people who are just really passionate about the environment, so the blogs are very informative and well written. Most of the posts include pictures, diagrams, lists of information and are well organized. On the other hand, the posts are often very long and difficult to skim. For the most part, this blog was really interesting to skim. There are lots of really interesting things that people are posting about. I would definitely recommend this blog to people to read. I look forward to returning to this site to learn some cool things that people are doing in the field of sustainability.

A sustainability blog that I particularly like is WorldChanging.com. This website is a nonprofit media organization headquartered in Seattle, WA that focuses on solutions to today's environmental problems. I really enjoy this site because it points out the flaws in the current system yet still maintains a positive outlook. The site is broken down into seven main sections: stuff, shelter, cities, community, business, politics, and planet. Worldchanging.com also offers an extensive list of environmentally related events that are going on around the country. Their motto is "change your thinking", which I think is great advice for someone who is looking to learn more about sustainability.
