Green Blogs

I’ve found that the best way to keep a challenge fresh and new is to get regular doses of inspiration. Going green or making lifestyle changes that positively impact the environment is definitely one of those challenges that benefit from getting occasional boosts of creativity to stimulate action.

One of the easiest ways to do this is to subscribe to a few good blogs. Reading a few tips and tricks or getting insight into how others are making a difference in their lives or in their communities can be just the little boost I need to take that additional step—an incentive to convince me to turn off my work printer and computer speakers at the end of the day; a spark of insight into how to make my home garden more sustainable; a nudge to replace my not-so-Earth-friendly cleaners with homemade natural ones.

Here are a few green blogs you might enjoy as you make and meet your own personal and professional challenges.

Here’s a couple tips for finding more blogs on any subject:

1. Got a favorite blog?  Take a look at that blogger’s “Blog Roll” or list of personal favorite or related blogs.  This list is a “readers of this blog will also like these” seal of approval.
2. Use a blog search engine to find blogs or posts on the topic of your choice.  Tools like Technorati, and Google Blog Search will help you limit your search to just blogs.

Do you have any green blog favorites you’d like to share?
