"Since July 2003, sustainablog has been providing information on environmental and economic sustainability, green and sustainable business, and environmental politics. The blog regularly features environmental leaders, experts in alternative energy and green technology, and real people trying to lighten their environmental footprints."
I particularly enjoyed an article titled, "Everyday Life -- How to Really Change the Environment." Its author, Zachary Shahan, is an English teacher in Poland. He holds both a BA in Environmental Studies and Sociology from New College of Florida and a masters degree in City and Regional Planning from UNC at Chapel Hill. His writing is fresh and optimistic; the article above gives readers three ideas on how to noticeably change aspects of their lives to better suit the natural world. On March 9, Shahan posted a blog entry called, "Goals and Rejuvenation: Realizing Our Dreams," which is an uplifting piece about how to regain excitement for making a difference. It's not always fun, easy, or glamorous to be a self-proclaimed activist, and Shahan recognizes that. He gives hope to environmental folk, assuring readers that it's okay to get discouraged and that there are simple steps to feel excitement for the (sometimes menial) work involved with changing the world.
