The Green Guide by National Geographic

Originated as a print newsletter in 1994, then expanded into a web site, thegreenguide.com, in 2002, Green Guide was acquired by National Geographic Society in March 2007, as part of NGS' global commitment to inform and inspire people to care about the planet. Dubbed the "green living source for today's conscious consumer", the GREEN GUIDE makes living in an environmentally-aware way easy, understandable, and practical. Intended for general consumers, GREEN GUIDE (in print and on the web) shows people how to make small changes that add up to big benefits for their wallets, for their health, and, of course, for the health of the planet. Not political or activist, the GREEN GUIDE is chock-full of simple, useful, ideas, broken down into achievable steps, that make going green a gradual and affordable process rather than an all-or-nothing plunge.

I grew up watching National Geographic on TV with my parents and reading their magazines. They have been a trusted source of information for years and years. Now they are on the green bandwagon and giving it their traditional best. This website is run by National Geographic and has loads of information, articles, blogs, links, etc. on green living. Its a colorful, easy to read, user friendly website that both children and adults will find useful. They even have a recipe section! I would recommend this website to anyone for sure. My favorite section is the buying guide. I go there to find new products that are out and information on old products. They even had a special article on Halloween and trick-or-treating and how to do that in an eco-fashion. It may not cover everything, as no site can, but it covers a bit of all topics across the board and is a great source of "green" advice and education.

First thought on the page, before even loading it was just woah. The background is beautiful, but it takes some hefty loading time for those of us not on high speed internet. With quizzes, season relevant advice (An Eco-Friendly Halloween!), and blogs, this site is a treasure trove of "green" information. There's even low cost home renovations that are Eco-Friendly!

Hi friends, I was the first person in my native place to insist our local cable operator to include the National Geographic Channel in his set of channels and I am a regular watcher of this revolutionary adventure by the National Geographic Society which is committed to the protection of global environment. Green Guide is a web site managed by this society. Much water has flown from all the rivers of the world since the beginning of modernization which resulted in number of scientific inventions. We and our future generations have to pay a heavy price for these activities. The bye products of modernization like ozone layer damage, global warming, and depletion of natural resources are some major issues to be shared by all of us without any choice.

Here is a small effort by the Green Guide to bring some changes in the prevailing worsening situation of global environmental condition. Green guide is operating both in the form of print as well as web site. This guide provides information about Green living, how to make changes in our concepts to minimize pollution and at the same time make earning from it. You can treat it as a buying guide for environment friendly products. Tips and Tools, Magazine, blog are some of the specific features of Green guide. One can order and buy National Geographic Green Guide through on line and start a new green life.

I believe, the most precious gift to our future generation may be a better environment to live and this can be achieved by a determined world population to start a green living right now. We can be get guided by Green Guide in the noble cause of saving our Planet. Friends, “Better late than never”. Still some hope is left and if the whole world is united, nothing is impossible.
