Best for: It could be the best resource for people who have made a decision to green their home but don't know how or where to start. It may also be useful for those who have had some unsuccessful experiences on greening homes.

Standout Features: All the green products listed in the “product directory” on the website are be approved by the Green Home Guide’s subject editors, who are professionals selected for their experience in applying green building principles, thoughtful analysis, as well as product category expertise. "All of them meet quarterly to share their product research, debate pros and cons, and vote on possible inclusions in the directory." So from each product in the “product directory”, you could see the summary of the reviews by those subject editors and expertise and their brief professional background. Moreover, you can send your specific questions about greening your home to the Green Home Guide online. The website will put your question to its "network of the green architects, designers, contractors, and consultants across the U.S".

Keep in Mind: Rather than most websites, "Green Home Guide" also provided several ways for users to participate in the whole community. You could recommend books to them or submit some suggestions or you "green stories" to them. However, it does not provide criteria for the selection of books.
