If you’re not already reading EarthFirst.com every day, you’re missing out. And I’m not just saying that because I’m the snarky green blog’s lead writer. It’s the best place on the web to get your green news served up with some humor, sarcasm and goofy cartoons. Created and run by a cast of characters that believes green can be funny, cool and exciting, EarthFirst (not associated with activist group EarthFirst!) doesn’t shy away from calling out greenwashers and foes of the environment.
There are a lot of doom-and-gloom stories out there in the green news world, and while you’ll certainly find dramatic topics like ‘7 Reasons You Should be Losing Sleep Tonight’ and ‘9 Natural Disasters Throughout the Ages’ on EarthFirst, you’ll also find the latest green gadgets, weirdest eco-inventions, funny illustrated go-green tips and original cartoons by EarthFirst’s own Jerry King. Among the blog’s unique categories are ‘Haters’, which exposes people attempting to derail positive change, and ‘EarthFirstU’, which highlights all the green goings-on at colleges and universities throughout North America.
We at EarthFirst.com aren’t afraid to call out folks doing the wrong thing, and heap praise on those working hard to further green causes. We’ve caught greenwashers attempting to use the environmental movement to market their shady products and services, and berated politicians for taking the side of greedy corporations and their lobbyists. One need only peruse posts tagged ‘jerkass’ to see what I mean – stories to which this tag has been applied include ‘Senate Fails Again to Renew Key Energy Credit’ and ‘HP Over-Packages to Epic Proportions’.
EarthFirst also highlights the good being done in the world, including the series ‘Who’s Who in Green’ (which has featured Eco Chick’s own Starre Vartan, Olivia Zaleski and Summer Rayne Oakes!) and ‘Featured Change Agents’, which calls attention to environmental activists and their pet projects.
So head on over to EarthFirst.com and check out the videos, book reviews, analyses of the ‘green-ness’ of the original Star Wars trilogy and controversial takes on topics like ‘Why You’re a Global Warming Denier’. If you spit your coffee all over your computer screen reading EarthFirst’s latest posts while enjoying your breakfast, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I will bookmark Earth First for sure! Thanks for the heads up.
