READ MORE ABOUT:
The Australia-based Planet Ark Environmental Foundation is more than just a daily news site—it's also a non-profit group teaching businesses, governments, and individuals the easy way to cut their carbon outputs. But for a constantly updated look at green news from around the world, bookmark the World Environment News section of the site.
Why We Love Planet Ark's News Site
Planet Ark's World Environment News page, powered by Reuters news agency, keeps you up-to-date on eco happenings from all over the globe, from Japan's increase in green purchasing to how a climate deal could mean the survival of the Maldives. The stories are more straight news than lifestyle—this isn't the place to find the best green hair conditioner or copy the fashions of your favorite eco-minded celebrities—but they do offer an expansive, in-depth look at issues facing environmentalists on a global stage, whether for loggers in Indonesia or solar power providers in Italy. Read more about cutting your meat intake, Thai cyclone survivors, the first osmotic power plant (now open in Norway), and Bulgaria's energy-efficient power plans—or search the video section to find clips on deforestation, fog harvesting, and unusual sea life.
How to Get Involved with Planet Ark
If you'd like to take a more hands-on approach, join one (or more) of Planet Ark's environmental campaigns. While some of these—like Recycling Near You, Cartridges 4 Planet Ark, and Plastic Bag Reduction—are aimed at Australians, they still offer tips, advice, and information that can help you reduce your footprint no matter where you live with Walk to Work Day, Climate Change, and Festive Recycling.
