Well, we’re a small but growing community at http://www.GreenJoyment.com.
Outside of us, there are literally hundreds of other blogs and sites which have some great content and ideas dealing with “green”.
To list them all here would obviously be too long of a comment….. so here are just a couple that are great for kids and teens
It’s Getting Hot In Here http://www.itsgettinghotinhere.org

Meredith Arnold 09.29.08 at 8:36 am
Great list and some cool new finds on there! I appreciate Sandy adding GreenEcoCommunities as I hadn’t heard of that one before. Great idea! Surprised there aren’t more listed in California, but all in good time, I suppose. I love the green blog world - it’s so inspiring!

Kristen Banker 09.29.08 at 8:37 am
I’m glad to know so many people are finding this list useful. Helping grow the green community is something I feel very passionate about. Thanks for suggesting all the other sites that have been mentioned. I’m happy to know that this will help inspire kids to Go Green! Makes me smile.
Rick_of_racy 09.29.08 at 8:53 am
Wow, you just wasted my entire afternoon. This is a great list. Blogs + lists = smile!
Kate Saltfleet 09.29.08 at 12:06 pm
Amazing, I had no idea there were so many green blogs and sites out there. I stumbled upon ecorazzi the other day, can recommend it.
Max Gladwell 09.29.08 at 12:22 pm
If I could humbly recommend #31: MaxGladwell.com
Kristen Banker 09.29.08 at 12:34 pm
Thank you for suggesting maxgladwell.com. I humbly apologize that it was not added to the list in the first place. It is indeed a great site!
Waylon Lewis 09.29.08 at 5:09 pm

Waylon Lewis 09.29.08 at 5:12 pm
Oh, and I love GenGreenLife, cool you mentioned ‘em! Did I miss it, or did you forget Grist.org? And it’s not all green of course, but I get up to 50% of my green news (and I already subscribe to GOOD, Treehugger, Ecorazzi…) from good ol’ http://www.nytimes.com ! Great post–with thanks–I’ll post on this and hopefully get you all a lil’more traffik.

Both are definitely worthy.

A great list there - it’s going to take some time to visit them all. It seems everything has an environmental twist lately
Bob3000 09.30.08 at 4:56 am
I would recommend: http://www.greennexxus.com/
Leafy Green 09.30.08 at 6:40 am
Thanks for the great list! There were a few on there that I hadn’t heard of before.

i recomend this sight for green buildings
Jonathon D. Colman 09.30.08 at 7:02 am
There’s a notable lack of green nonprofit conservation organization web sites in lists like these. What about the nonprofits who are doing the most on-the-ground work around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people?
I humble recommend The Nature Conservancy for such a list!
John 09.30.08 at 7:21 am
Some sites are green by their subject matter without even trying to be. the Practical Pedal is a free magazine (print and web) that’s all about using bicycles as transportation. http://practicalpedal.com
They also have a wiki called Convivial City that’s a sort of city guide for cyclists. http://convivialcity.com It’s only a few days old, so there’s only a few cities so far, but anyone can add information.
Great list, thanks.
Sara 09.30.08 at 7:45 am
Nice list! WebEcoist also has a thorough roundup with detailed descriptions of 25 exceptionally high quality green blogs, including important biographical, Technorati and Alexa information, organized by category: http://webecoist.com/2008/09/03/25-best-green-blogs-by-category/

David 09.30.08 at 8:37 am
A new website that I recently stumbled upon is http://www.greenerideal.com
It looks newer but the concept is pretty cool. It is simply tidbits of new, innovative and green stories.
Ovidiu 09.30.08 at 8:46 am
For alternative energy news, greenoptimistic.com is the best!
Jeff 09.30.08 at 8:54 am
Another one i just came across: safegreencleaners.com. Has lots of good information about the dangers of chemical cleaning products.
David Herron 09.30.08 at 8:55 am
At http://www.7gen.com I have a lot of ‘green’ information and analysis, with a special focus on electric vehicles and peak oil.
At http://visforvoltage.org I run a discussion forum focused on electric vehicles, primarily bicycles, scooters and motorcycles.
Chan 09.30.08 at 8:56 am
You guys must visit this website!
http://ecodazoo.com/
It’s so fascinating! Must visit
Pat 09.30.08 at 9:03 am
This is a great List, you should have a look at
New Energy Plan They seem to have a slightly cynical view on green.
zerocarbonista 09.30.08 at 9:11 am
Hey Kristen - great list! I had to compile a list for a project recently - there were quite a few matches..
Treehugger have been ace for our blog since we launched it - I wouldn’t be so bold as to suggest that Zerocarbonista deserves a place on your list - but while we are all here - perhaps you could check it out..?
Actually - I am also on the trawl for guest bloggers…
Kristen Banker 09.30.08 at 9:20 am
Thanks everyone for adding additional “green” sites to the comment section. There really are tons of great sites out there and we apologize if you may have felt slighted by not being added to our top 30, (please don’t take it personally). We love learning about new sites and ALWAYS welcome new weblogs/sites/nonprofits, etc. Keep the comments coming and the sites listed. We can all benefit from the many ways others are doing there part to “go green”. Thanks again.

Dan 10.09.08 at 3:18 am
This is a great list. I’m always looking for web sites with a partial or complete focus on energy conservation for the home owner.
We’ve complied 100+ energy conservation tips for home owners on the above page on our home renovation and energy conservation web site and know we will find more by going through the above 30 and the additional ones others have added through their comments.
It really is amazing how easy it is to learn about a new tactic or strategy for home owners to use in reducing the consumption of non-renewable energy resources without having to adjust their lifestyle.

I love this article! It’s so great seeing so many really good eco-friendly sites on the web.

Lots of sites here I didn’t know about, it will take me a while to work my way through them, but thank you for putting together such a great list.
