Do you / would you follow a local green blog?

I am working on a local blog for my city, like about living as a green family in my city (which isn't very big).

I'm just curious if anyone follows a blog like that for where they live?  Would you be willing to share it with me?  And if you don't follow one, would you?

I should probably check over on eco-friendly family, but the blog I am working on would have local eco/nature events, info on local resources (from nature centers to cloth diaper services to co-ops and farmers markets), as well as blog posts on going greener.

(FYI - there are two major "mom" blogs in my city that are super popular, so mine is the same concept, just about being eco-friendly).

  • i think it's a neat idea.  i don't follow any blogs, but if i were to, that would probably be the kind that i would be interested in.

  • That's a cool idea.  It sounds more like a website than a blog, though.  In my mind you'd have front page that is a blog, featuring a different business, eco-friendly tips or a few activities every week; a calendar page with events and their descriptions (in list and/or calendar format); a page for each of the categories (services, products, activities, etc.); and a green living tips pages that is a compilation of the tips you feature on the front page.  That's just my vision of it, though :) Good luck!

  • I follow one, sort of.  She is local to me and her blog is eco-friendly.  She does post some local stuff, but not everything is local.  But, most of it is stuff that you could do on your own no matter where you live, like finding a CSA.  She might post a local CSA that she's a member of, but tell you how to find your own CSA in the area you live.
