You already know Wikipedia– the sometimes controversial, collaborative online encyclopedia. With it, you can find information (true, false and all the shades in between) about everything from the Danish movie “Stealing Rembrandt” to “East Fife (UK Parliament constituency)” (Wikipedia’s Random Article button is a lot fun!). If you have a quick info need or some info to share with others, Wikipedia is the place to go.
Now the Green Wiki (http://green.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia_Green) does the same for the environment and sustainability that Wikipedia has done for, well, every topic out there!
You can use the Green Wiki as a resource for information on environmental issues, sustainable living, the local movement and many other green topics. The article on Renewable Energy, for example covers the basics and gives some background on eight types of renewable energy. To further your research, the Green Wiki provides sources and external resources.
The Green Wiki is fairly new, so you may find some empty entries. I was surprised to find that no one had yet provided any information for Composting. Of course, this is where the collaborative nature of wikis kicks in. Instead of information about composting, you get a request: Help out Wikia Green by writing a definition of this word! And why not? If you feel that you have something to say on a topic in the Green Wiki, go ahead and register and contribute! Like any social software, a wiki like the Green Wiki is made better with each contribution made by its community members. You can learn more about how to contribute and what the Green Wiki is looking for on their About page.
So dive right in– start browsing, do some research and share your own green knowledge with the community!
