Make MySpace Your Space for Befriending These 10 Green Groups
Top 10 Green Groups on MySpace According to an article in SearchEngineWatch.com, “With 67% of the worldwide internet population visiting, social networks and blogs are now outpacing email in popularity.” This is an amazing feat if you think about how many emails one person sends a day. But it’s the truth, and social networking sites are still growing in popularity every day.
Obviously we consider our very own Liv Greene MySpace page a leading resource for all things green, but here are 10 other green groups on MySpace that are worth checking out:
Friends of the Earth For almost 40 years Friends of the Earth has been raising awareness for environmental problems. The organization was created in San Francisco in 1969 and is currently led by Brent Blackwelder, founder of the board of American Rivers and the Environmental Policy Institute. The organization has grassroots groups in over 77 countries that campaign on issues such as global warming, clean energy and toxic technology.

The Recycle Man Show Who ever thought that recycling could be so fun and entertaining?

Earthworks Earthworks is a non-profit organization that works to “expose the health, environmental, economic, social and cultural impacts of mining through work informed by sound science.” The organization brings together scientists, activists and more who want to reform current U.S. mining laws that don’t protect the environment from destructive mining practices.
Kiva This non-profit organization created by husband and wife team Matt and Jessica Flannery is so cool that it was even mentioned on the Oprah Winfrey show! Kiva provides loans to low-income entrepreneurs that want to fight their way out of poverty. Here’s how it works: you browse the community for an entrepreneur, you offer the loan, you get updates on how the entrepreneur is doing, and within 6-12 months you get your loan money back. Then you can start the cycle again by lending to another worthy individual.
