Earth Day: Looking at the Big Picture (+ Earth Day Giveaway!)

By

  Forty two years ago, environmental protection wasn’t among the main government concerns in the U.S. There wasn’t an agency overseeing industrial activities to measure their environmental impact, and companies were freely dumping toxic waste into our waterways and industrial sites. On April 22, 1970, concerned citizens decided to make a difference and speak up, thus launching the

Earth Day — One Thing to Do (…or Three)

By

  Here comes another Earth Day. Of course, for folks in my business who spend every day thinking that it’s Earth Day, this annual holiday is a bit odd/surreal. Aside from the completely ungreen pitches I get at this time of year, which either make me want to pull my hair out or laugh, it’s

Earth Day Perspective: U.S. Ranks 49th in Global Environmental Index

By

  As we approach the quintessential ‘green’ holiday — April 22, Earth Day — one academic study should provide important perspective on the United States role in the world. The Environmental Performance Index (EPI), a project of the Yale University Center for Environmental Law & Policy, this year ranked the United States 49th in overall

A Little More about Me, Planetsave, and Green Living

By

Lynn University recently interviewed me for one of their Earth Day posts on their web magazine, iPulse. They ended up using part of the interview, not the whole thing (apparently, didn’t want it to be too long — understandable). A bit of the interview was actually about Planetsave, and the rest was about environmental issues and green living (a good fit for our site, of course), so I’m sharing the whole thing here with you all. (You can learn a bit more about me as well through this :D)

Origins of Earth Day {VIDEO}

By

Ever wonder exactly how Earth Day started? Organic Bouquet, a “mission-based florist and the largest online provider of eco-friendly and organic gifts,” put together the video below, including footage from an oil spill off the California coast over 30 years ago (and oil-covered birds like we saw in the Gulf last year). Interesting story. Check it out

Earth Day 2011 Reflections

By

I think most of us green bloggers get quite frustrated with Earth Day. It can be a struggle for us to stay positive at this time. Why? Because we write about critical environmental issues and solutions to them all year long, and we are confronted with how little others are aware of or interested in such issues when Earth Day comes around. All of a sudden, a large number of people ‘care’ about the environment,… but don’t expect that to stay ’till tomorrow. We get numerous pitches from non-green companies who want us to feature them in our Earth Day posts (as well as pitches from truly green companies, of course). For one day, it is more “fashionable” to be green. But just for one day.

Don't Let Greenwashing Fool You, Join New "Green Watching" Campaign

Earth Day is right around the corner. And us green bloggers know what that means… tons of greenwashing, ridiculous offers and pitches from non-green companies trying to pretend they are green, millions of dollars spent on “green” marketing and advertising (but not necessarily on greening our goods), and, oh yeah, some awareness-raising around important environmental
