@WeEarth, @Ann: Thanks for the heads up to these sites; I’ve had a look at them and they’re also quite impressive.

Great post!! It’s great that these companies are finally paying attention to the effects of their products on the environment.I tried to switch to Earthle, but when I sign in my page automatically goes back to the classic white page. How do you change that?

@ Kat: I agree I’ve also been Facebooking and e-mailing friends to let them know about these (greener) alternatives.

@ Inspector Gadget: Thanks. I understand your cynicism but don’t necessarily share it. You can visit this link (http://www.ecocho.co.uk/lang_en/verified.php) to see how Ecocho’s planting of trees is verified. It seems quite legitimate.

@ Camilla: Thanks for your comment and links to those sites. I’ll definitely check them out.

Great article. I definitely see a growing trend toward ‘green social networking’ sites springing up all over the place. While Care2 has been around for a long time, new sites such as WiserEarth.org (http://www.wiserearth.org) and Ammado.com (http://www.ammado.com) are springing up. These sites are also hoping to further the connections between concerned citizens and the nonprofit world. I agree that these sorts of initiatives are noble, especially as I think it will require all of us to become more connnected in order to reimagine a new world.

This is a very well researched post yet I’m a little skeptical about massive corporate search engines such as yahoo planting trees after so many searches. It would be very hard to prove that they actually do this, and also easy for them to fake if anyone asked for proof. If it’s all so good and is where the web of the future is going then why aren’t these eco-friendly versions of the most popular websites and search engines being promoted? Regards Inspector Gadget

Awesome article! And thank you for all the links. I have already posted several to my Facebook page and tagged a few of my friends walls with them. We might as well do some good along the way with our online social media travels.
