10 eco blogs for Earth Day
Just in case you didn't know already, today is Earth Day - the annual event that aims to drive environmental awareness and encourage us all to 'take action.' So in honour of this, and following the success of our Top 50 Eco Blogs post, we are serving up an extra helping of eco blogs - this time compiled from your suggestions on Green Central. Enjoy!
Action starts at home:
No Impact Man - a New Yorker tries to reduce his carbon footprint (as well as that of his Prada-wearing wife) - sign up to his RSS feed and keep up-to-date with his progress.
The Daily Green - everything from news and recipes to tips to help go green. Take a look at the Earth Day cartoons.
Consciousconsuming - seeks to increase awareness of the impact of what we buy on "our health, happiness, and environment". Suggests eating less to save the world: "One Less Burger, One Safer Planet"
Inhabitat - From architecture and art to transport and clothing. Proves that going green can be design-conscious.
The Alternative Consumer - check out the Earth Day Don'ts post.
Life Goggles - reviews of 'green' products. See the solar electric shaver... and enter the Great Green Giveaway competition for a chance to win lots of free stuff
La Marguerite - says it focuses on "behavioral solutions to global warming". Find out how to get real for Earth Day and what Green Porno means.
The big picture:
Ecology and Policy - British Ecological Society's science policy team's blog. Will keep you up-to-date with what's new in eco policies.
Globalisation and the Environment - meaty debate on enviro news stories.
Climate Progress - Former energy advisor to the Clinton administration Joseph Romm's blog; tool up on insider eco knowledge

Eco Geek, Ecorazzi and Treehugger are mentioned in the Top 50 blogs link at the top of the article. This is a supplement to that - they obviously included the most important ones last ;-)

We marvel that a hundred years ago some scientists thought that a man could not survive traveling over 25 miles an hour. I believe that people of the future will marvel that we wasted billions of
dollars and dozens of years on ideas such as Earth Day and Global warming when the solution
to all our energy and pollution problems was within easy grasp. Our real problems are political,
regulatory and legislative. If government clears the way, American can stop paying
tyrants, terrorists and dictators for oil. Once that oil money vanishes, all the world's
trouble makers dry up and blow away. We have all the energy we need now in the form of our own nuclear power,oil, coal, and natural gas. If we fund research into solar and even more exotic forms of alternative energy the future will be secure as well. Keeping the cash at home will make us economically secure. Not turning corn into ethanol will get the world fed again. Getting rid of our addiction to foreign oil stops all oil wars. Few things are more wasteful, expensive, or kill more people needlessly than oil wars.

And what about ecorazzi.com -- green issues have an entertainment side as well.

Guys, what about environmentalgraffiti.com - that's the UK's most trafficked environmental blog. Also what about ecogeek.org, the green options network and treehugger? I think you've missed some vital ones there.
