TreeHugger is not the typical type of blog that you’d expect; It looks more like a small website. What’s useful is a list of links for “Top TreeHugger Searches” which includes: solar, house of the future, bamboo, wind turbine, bicycle, furniture, shoes, Tristan pretty man, prefab, and plastic bags. All are green related searches and it’s a convenient way to find the information that you need quickly. The site also includes a job board for those who are seeking jobs in the green industry. Best of all, there is a “How To Go Green” section with links that include how to green you’re: lighting, water, work, furniture, and even your sex life.

GreenLAgirl started out on a blogspot and later transformed into it’s own website, although it is still a blog. The author is a graduate student living in Los Angeles where living green is more work. The blog details green lifestyle and ways to enjoy it such as L.A.’s The Tap Project, a UNICEF campaign to help make clean tap water available to children around the world. Green topics with links on the site include caffeine, organic, L.A. restaurants, alcohol, consumerism, solutions, travel, questions and art. The site is useful for green solutions and topics in an urban area.
