There are plenty of sites out there that will help you make green choices when it comes to your lifestyle, but not so many that have the tried-and-true input of a celebrity behind them. At Green Is Sexy, though, easy tips and a cheerful attitude make going green a nearly-effortless project.

Why We Love Green Is Sexy


The site is built around one simple premise: "tiny changes, big impact." Developed by actress Rachel McAdams and her friends Megan and Didi, it's more environmental than Hollywood, with daily tips in categories that include For Your Home, Out and About, For Laughs, For the Girls, For the Guys, and Entertaining, among others. Some of the changes are so small you'll wonder why you didn't think of it first—think, buying gum in paper wrappers instead of plastic trays, getting your shoes repaired before buying new, and saving stamps to donate to charities that sell them to collectors. Then there's the Things We Heart section: a collection of recipes, books, movies, destinations, products, and people who make sustainable living brighter, bolder, and easier.

How to Read Green Is Sexy


If you're ready to take make some more powerful moves, try the Think Big section, where suggestions include sending your favorite companies a "Pat-on-the-Back Letter" (and sending other companies a letter encouraging them to cut back on packaging). And if you want to stick with smaller changes, then check the site for the tips, updated daily, on the homepage; they cover everything from green reading lists to recycling rules so you can make going green part of your daily life—without a lot of fuss.
