Exploring the Greener Side (of the Blogosphere) – Issue 1

While I know all of my readers enjoy my wit and charm, which has been seriously lacking lately, I have decided to take you all on a tour of some other green blogs. This is a multi-part series, so stay tuned for other green blogs (and no, they are no particular order of favorites). As I review them, look for their links to pop-up under the Blogroll –>

I have read each of these blogs, though only sporadically, as time permits – so I can’t really vouch for all of their content. Reader beware.

First up is Green as a Thistle. I stumbled upon this blog a while back and I thought it was a neat idea. Vanessa, a Canadian journalist, decided that going green could be simple. So each day for a year she made small (and not so small) green changes to her lifestyle. The end result of her journey is probably my favorite of all her posts. She learned a lot on her journey, and she shared her thoughts on the matter. Her important lessons learned are ones that we all need to learn in order to spread the green movement.

So hop on over to Green as a Thistle and take a peak around some of her 366 ideas for going green (leap year, remember?). Share a few of your favorites (I haven’t read them all).

Green on!
