Blogs...

1) The Sustainable Cities Blog is a great blog. This blog contains a lot of information about different websites, companies, groups, news and others. This blog it is very helpful for someone like who does not where to find information about the environment. This blog was especially created for people that live in New York City, letting us know the things that are happening around us and the things that we should do to help our environment. The entries that this blog had where written to inform and keep the students involved with the environment. The blog contains interesting topics such as the Expanding Access to Science , Time to Feed the Chickens , etc… This blog looks very simple, but it has a lot of helpful information.


2) Gristmill it seems as a great page to share information about the things that are happening around us. It has a lot interesting pages about the environment. However, it didn’t capture my attention a lot the first time I saw it. However, it does have a lot of useful information for us. It website is created for everybody. The information that it is very general, but it is messing some details. It has different advertisements popping up. But, they are related to the environment making this page more interesting and involve with our environment.


3) Green as a Thistle is a very interesting blog. It actually shows that some people are trying to improve this environment. It is a great idea of keeping a diary and making someone’s life interesting and active. This blog contains different ideas how little activities can help improve our environment. It also contains interesting and helpful links. I like the ads she has that are helpful for our environment and for people in need. It is very interesting the way she has separated her experiments from information about her. It captures the attention since it has entries about her personal experiments to improve our environment a little bit. It kind of inspires one to try this same experiment.
*This is why I decided to leave her a message. Letting her know how her contributions can improve and teach us to do the same for our environment.*


4) No Impact Man is a very interesting and informative blog. Its entries are very useful. It talks about different actions that people and organizations are doing to improve our environment. The decoration of the blog captured my attention. It is a great way of describing and showing all the information that it has improving our world. It’s a great page to share information and to obtain new one. I learned different things that are damaging our environment. Also, how SELF is trying the different methods to make this planet a happier place for us. It is a great page where you can see the actions that are going on and perhaps you can collaborate. It is really interesting the links for charities, contact and organization, etc…


5) Ecogeek is a great blog that teach us how technology is been use to improve our world. We have the idea that technology is mostly destroying our environment and us. But, this blogs is demonstrating how some people are using technology to help us. This blog contains information that is not been shown in TV or the News. The entries are interesting because they talk about important topics that involve us. Even when they are describing a new invention, it stills captures the attention. This is blog is very different from the other ones. It is demonstrating that some people are creating inventions to improve this world. It’s something that should be spread out to others. It is also design to get other genius involve.

Green Blogs:

Fashion is one of the most important and influential obsession that we (human beings) have. Clothing is something that we spend a lot of time thinking how to improve it and make new designs. But, we do not stop to think the damage that we are doing to our world to obtain these things.


One of the biggest problems that we are facing is famine. This problem is happening in many different countries; it something that scientists are working on. For example, they are creating seeds that grow fast to increase our amount of food. This problem is becoming more serious as we destroy our environment.

it seems to me that many of us agree on that the gristmill blog is a little too crazy. I felt the same way. It did not call my attention at all. I literally forced myself to read through it. Nevertheless, after reading some of it i found very interesting stuff. but, yea; they definitely need to do something about their presentation; It is not welcoming at all.

Great blog, Ligia, and thanks for the two links! I immediately went to the one on fashion but was sobered up by the one on famine...
