Squidoo for the Environment
Add your lenses on anything from recycling to electric cars to deforestation. This group will be a place to gather lenses dedicated to helping the earth. There are already lenses on fighting urban sprawl, living green, going organic, and alternate power sources.
Lenses are organized in categories and most of the member lenses are featured. Please explore and learn how you can save the world, one carbon footprint at a time.
Check out the nifty new badge we're wearing!
A big thanks to lensmaster spirituality for bestowing on us on the Great Groups Award and featuring our little corner on her Great Groups Lensography.
Also, please take a look at the 350 Challenge from Brighter Planet. I know that this isn't technically a blog, but I wanted to spread the word.
