The Lighter Side of the Eco Movement

by WiredBerries Editors — January 11, 2008

Watching the news or reading your favorite pro-green magazine can make you feel a bit overwhelmed at best and hopeless at worst. To enjoy a bit of the lighter side of the green movement, check out Eco Chick. This blog is best described in their own words:

"For too long environmental blogs have catered to men and moms. It was either diatribes about peak oil or recipes on how to make organic baby food. When all the rest of us want to know is: Where can I get a fair trade spanking paddle? Eco Chick can fill you in! The blogteam at Eco-chick includes a model who has a degree in entomology, an alternative health freak who's used herself as a guinea pig, a science nerd, a news junkie and a London-based expat; the site is run and hosted by an anarchist webmaster. Today's chicks want to know what's going on, and want to laugh. Eco Chick agrees. While we have a woman's perspective, all are welcome to contribute, comment and create. It's a simple principle; every object has a life cycle, whether it be a bar of soap, a take-out container, an energy bar, a pair of shoes or a loveseat. It was somewhere before you got it, and it will go somewhere else when you're done or gone. Just because you can't see it before or after you buy it/use it/eat it/love it doesn't mean you're not responsible for it. We'll show you how to find the things you love, and keep you updated on what's going on in that great green world."

What's not to love? After all, Mother Nature is a woman!
