What is Green Site Guide?
Green Site Guide gives you the top 5 green websites in hundreds of categories. Shop, Research, Educate and Take Action!
Our team has scoured the web and sifted through thousands of sites to highlight the truly green and spare you the “green-washed.” We feature sites that offer high quality, healthy, sustainable, eco-friendly, low-impact, environmentally sound products and services. If you’re looking to shop, you’ll find details such as product selection, deals and discounts, shipping policies, company philosophies and more. Want to get educated and take action? Our comprehensive selection of informative sites will get you up to speed on all things green.
You can have an immediate impact simply by adding your own ratings and reviews; this will help inform others and influence how a site ranks. Your input plus our research ensures that only fabulous green sites stay in the top 5. Of course, we are constantly adding and reviewing sites as well as taking suggestions so there will often be far more than just five sites to choose from.
At Green Site Guide, you can be confident that your purchases and precious time are positively impacting our planet.
What do you mean by Green? At Green Site Guide, we believe that Green refers to anything that will sustain and benefit the environment, is consciously produced, and is healthy for our outer and inner ecologies.
The beauty of “green” is that most often, products, services and endeavors that are created in a conscientious manner, are better quality, last longer and benefit people overall. In simpler terms, “Quality, not quantity.”
You do not have to do without to live a “green” lifestyle. It is about making thoughtful choices, with consideration for how our expenditures impact our planet and each other.
How do you evaluate the sites? We choose sites that are fabulous and green. The whole experience is taken into account. Here’s a breakdown of what we evaluate:
Sustainability - In some significant way, the products, the information or the operation of the site itself must contribute either neutrally or positively to the planet.
Presentation - Green is beautiful. While not the most important factor, we expect sites to be pleasantly designed and easy on the eyes.
Ease of Use - Being able to find your way around a site is nearly as important as what is on it.
Quality of Offerings - This refers to content on the informational sites and products on the retail sites.
Overall Value - Buying Green shouldn’t break the bank. Sometimes green costs more, but it needs to be worth it and competitively priced.
In addition to the above criteria, we also appreciate sites that offer variety, are unique and give charitably to green causes.
