in the search to be green.

In the U.S. where technology has put information at people’s fingertips and caring for creation has become cool, it is hard not to make an effort at caring for the earth in some way. Even a year ago it was hard to find companies that were environmentally conscious, food products that were viably healthy and/or locally grown at local grocery stores, and practical easy ways to care for the earth. Now finding ways to care for creation is becoming easier, but still is hard as the world is eclipsed by capitalism and globalization. In the search to be green it can be hard not to leave a footprint.

Yesterday, in the search to be green I came across a “green” search engine by Google. It’s called GreenMaven. Google has created custom searching, designed to cater to peoples’ needs. Some examples are economics, Macs, and anything that has to deal with being green. On the main page are top news stories from the day that deal with all things green. It also has a list of the latest green websites. Along the side and bottom are sponsors and approved businesses such as OxFam, Whole Foods, and Equal Exchange. And of course at the top of the page is a place to search for all things green. It’s a neat website that offers a practical way to search for ‘green’ things. In a world that is trying to be conscientious about being more caring about the earth it is a great way to learn and find ways to do that.
