‘Going Green’ has never been more popular so it is hardly surprising that there are hundreds of Web sites promoting eco friendly ways. Here is our roundup of the best of the bunch.

Jetsongreen.com – Jetson Green is obsessed with green building and everything related to it, including sustainable architecture, good design, clean technology, affordable housing, and eco-friendly development. While on the site, we discovered you can buy a green pre-fab home for under $150,000!


GoodGuide.com offers an easy site to help us find safe, healthy and green products. Their mobile application lets you type the name or bar code of a product into your cell phone, send it and within seconds get a rating of the product in terms of its environmental, health, and social impact.


Ecofabulous.com is one of the best design consultant and personal shopper weblogs out there. It’s where we discovered non-toxic water-based nail polish and earth friendly laser cut jewelry. Devoted to finding and sharing sexy, eco products and fashion it’s definitely a site to visit.


Ecofriend.org is a great environmental blog. If you love to have the latest eco-gadgets and products like a solar powered iPod dock that kicks out room-filling sound, this is the place to go. The main editorial focus of ‘Ecofriend’ is alternative and renewable energy.

LowImpactLiving.com. Find everything you need to start an eco-friendly life. In addition to green projects, products and services, there’s a calculator to help quantify your impact as well as ways to lessen it.
