Do you find yourself questioning how much you know about the environment? If you're a Facebook fanatic, there are some great ways to use it to keep up on what's going on in green.
Facebook recently added a new feature called "fan pages" that allows brands, writers, organizations, and artists to set up pages similar to the user profiles. Previously, only people could set up profiles for themselves. With the fan pages, users are able to become a fan of groups they support, and will then get updates from those groups they are fans of in their news feed alongside the updates they get from their friends. It's a great way to keep in touch with the artists, non-profits or blogs you support.
Make the most of your fan pages on Facebook by becoming a fan of the top eco-minded businesses and organizations that keep you updated with green news and happenings.
