National Green-Eco Resources

by

 

 

I originally started out this blog because I couldn’t find anything ‘Eco Friendly’ in doing my remodel in San Diego. It started out just San Diego, then went to California and then went national. There is no way, just me could provide all the necessary information to find local sources for all your green needs. 

So I came up with this idea to provide you local green, eco resources and information by state from your local blogs and websites. Even then culling through the over 35 Million blogs is a huge effort, but at least I hopefully will save you the endless hours it takes to find your local sources. 

This is certainly not all the local green and eco blogs, but it’s a good start! If you have a local green blog, dedicated to your city, state or regional, please let me know and I will publish. 

This list got so long, that all updates will be in the category of your state, all you have to do is click your state and hopefully it will send you to the right place. 

Thanks for your patience. 

National  Resources- the following have zip code locators on site

Until a mass transit system is in place, folks looking to escape the crunch of rising fuel costs are taking the bus, biking to work or simply driving less.It is thought that turning to a “greener” source of energy may help to solve the problem of higher fuel prices. Enter Ethanol. The State of Hawaii is now using a blend of Ethanol in the gasoline it sells and there is no way around it. Has using ethanol helped with the rising cost of fuel or hurt it? Will the use of ethanol lead to other problems? We take a closer look at these subjects here on HawaiiEthanol.com.

  2. Hello there…

    I’ve been lurking this forum for a while as a guest – but finally decided to register. A little off-topic but I have a 8 year old boy and a 5 year old little girl who are dying to browse online.

    I’ve spent hours researching the internet and besides [url=http://TippyTales.com][b]TippyTales.com[/b][/url], I really can’t find any other educational site online. Besides the music & games, they have a cool book creator where my kids develop their own books. I swear it entices them to read…not joking!!

    Anyway, was wondering what other parents are introducing their kids to or if we’re all stuck on the same site?!!! [url=http://verifiedfile.com][img]http://jed7.com/kids.gif[/img][/url]

  5. great put up, very informative. I ponder why the opposite specialists of this
    sector don’t notice this. You should proceed your writing.
    I’m confident, you have a huge readers’ base already!
