My goal for this project was to find resources that gave people the tools necessary to "go green" on both an individual and local/regional/global level. Low Impact Living, Greener Choices, and Green Seal all offer practical and reliable information to help consumers achieve their environmental goals in their households and in daily life. Women's Earth Alliance, Green Corps and the World Wildlife Fund all encourage environmental participation on a larger scale.
