Ang Peregrino Recommends 58: The Daily Green

The Daily Green

I have become a semi-advocate of the envi­ron­ment nowa­days. My work has allowed me the oppor­tu­nity to directly and indi­rectly work for the envi­ron­ment. And the past few weeks, I have been try­ing to find web­sites that deal with the environment.

TheDai­ly­Green is one of the best ones I found.

It was founded by Deb­o­rah Jones Bar­row, who col­lab­o­rates with a lot of great peo­ple to come up with this web­site. Her hus­band said one day after watch­ing An Incon­ve­nient Truth, “Honey, some­body ought to invent a great green web­site for reg­u­lar people.”

TheDai​ly​Green​.com came out of that.

The Daily Green​.com is pub­lished by the Dig­i­tal Media unit of Hearst Mag­a­zines. Hearst Cor­po­ra­tion, the par­ent com­pany of Hearst Mag­a­zines, has been at the fore­front of rais­ing aware­ness for and address­ing envi­ron­men­tal con­cerns. Among Hearst’s accom­plish­ments on the envi­ron­men­tal front, the most rec­og­nized are the company’s com­ple­tion of Hearst Tower, the first gold LEED cer­ti­fied build­ing in New York (hon­ored by Global Green USA); part­ner­ing with the State of Cal­i­for­nia, Cal­i­for­nia Range­land Trust and Amer­i­can Land Con­ser­vancy in 2005 to form the largest con­ser­va­tion ease­ment in his­tory (82,000 acres) in San Simeon, Calif.; and par­tic­i­pat­ing in phil­an­thropic tree plan­ning through National Arbor Day Foun­da­tion and New York Restora­tion Project.

I love its Green Tips, a Do It Your­self Energy Audit which I will talk about in a future post, or you might want to try its 5 Easy First Steps you can do today to go green.

For the great tips, really help­ful and use­ful arti­cles, and for remind­ing us that sav­ing the earth is some­thing “reg­u­lar” peo­ple can do, Ang Pere­grino Rec­om­mends The Daily Green this week.
