Blog #2

treehugger.

No, I'm not calling you a treehugger.

I wouldn't say I'm a "green" guy, but treehugger.com is a, in my opinion, well designed and informative site. What I like is that they use a stereotype for the title of the site; which, to me, shows that they care about the environment but are not all serious, business-like.

Also, right on the header, there are "steps" you can take if you want to go green. Step 1 provides many links that leads to more links that provides a plethora of information about being more green. Step 2 provides links that lets you interact with other "green" people and entertainment that also informs you about being green. Then finally, step 3 provides links that informs you how you can start changing your life to a more green one.

Not only does treehugger.com provide information and the ability to interact with other "green" people, but they also interact with the real world. Such as in 2010, treehugger.com held a sort of campaign, in which people submitted a plan or actually built a more environmentally friendly building or other architecture.


Like I said before, treehugger.com is a well design and well inform site. If you want to become more green or just curious, treehugger is a site you should definitely check out. Although, I'm not sure if going green actually does anything.

    Tree Hugger is a well designed site that provides information in an accessible format. What do you mean you'r not sure if being green actually does anything?

  2. What I like about the site is that it has a more or less friendly approach to being green. It's a nice contrast to the canvasers downtown that tell me every time I drink coke they kill a baby seal or something like that.

    I would say that the green movement is going to be effective down the line. It's one of those projects that we might even see the benefits of in our lifetimes, but future generations will be able to enjoy.
