On September 17th, Environmental Defense announced the debut of its new web site, Green Adviser (www.greenadviser.org), that selects the best advice from "green groups" to help people save money while living a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle. Green Adviser features links to articles, interactive tools and databases that help consumers make smarter, healthier choices. The site's helpful tips show how simple changes in daily activities, such as shopping or driving, can save money while saving the planet. In addition, a recipe section offers suggestions on maintaining a more healthful diet.
"Simple changes in day-to-day activities can have a beneficial environmental effect," said Environmental Defense's director of Internet and media services Joyce Newman. "Green Adviser helps those seeking practical advice with new tips every week on positive lifestyle changes."
Created and maintained by Environmental Defense, the non-commercial site offers advice on everything from buying environmentally friendly products to learning how to enjoy nature without leaving more than footprints behind. It features links to the best advice available from web sites representing regional and national green groups, health programs, conservation associations and other environmentally conscious organizations dedicated to promoting a healthier lifestyle.
Green Adviser includes advice and tips on:
- Green Products (information on the least-polluting automobiles and energy-efficient appliances, and suggestions on how to shop online for green items);
- Green Diet (tips on how to read the labels of organic or "natural" foods, health news and a selection of delicious recipes from celebrity chefs);
- Green Places (guides to exploring the great outdoors or to creating a wonderful green spot in your own backyard); and
- Recycling (advice on how to reduce waste, eliminate junk mail and shop for products that contain post-consumer waste).
Green Adviser also showcases a "Green Link of the Week" and links to valuable interactive tools for consumers, like Environmental Defense's Seafood Selector, which suggests eco-friendly fish choices, and Tailpipe Tally, which helps consumers choose less-polluting cars and trucks.
