Now that April is over, Visible Shops would like to tell you: Don’t leave Earth Month behind.
Once a year, many organizations pay lip service alongside those that are earnest in reducing their impact on the environment. Don’t be like the former businesses - try to take away what you learned from Earth Month and continue learning!
One of the best ways to keep updated on green marketing and business practices is to regularly read up periodicals online, such as blogs, podcasts, and columns. (It would make sense for eco-warriors to go down the paperless route.) Here are a few regularly updated sources of great information:
1. EcoGeek: Technology for the Environment - Stay up-to-date on the latest, most cutting-edge possibilities for preserving the world we live in with this technology-focused blog. The science is sometimes a little over our heads, but the end results of these endeavors are often awe-inspiring.
2. The Green Lantern, Slate Magazine - Is a dishwasher better for the environment than hand-washing your dishes? Does paper recycling use up too much energy to be worth the effort? This weekly column addresses the concerns of questions submitted from readers. Columnist Brendan Koerner parses through the many complexities of the different factors and processes that go into eco-aware lifestyle choices so you don’t have to.
3. The Alternative Consumer - Keep up with environmentally savvy consumers with The Alternative Consumer. Bloggers and readers alike go over the latest and greatest eco-friendly products and discuss trends and news regarding the environment.
The blog also offers several dozen links to other green sites and blogs that provide news and discussion.
Attempts to lighten your carbon footprint during your lifetime always takes a little extra awareness and effort. Like fitness and nutrition regimes, these endeavors can be easy to neglect out of laziness or forgetfulness. The best way to prevent a drop in eco-friendly practices is to keep yourself informed, to know how others are making a difference, and to keep up with the latest updates and upgrades in green technology and business. Don’t leave Earth Month behind, and you won’t get left behind.
