Yahoo! Green, an Eco-Friendly Site Announced
Yahoo! has introduced its environment-centric website called ‘Yahoo! Green’ for eco-friendly web users. The new site has been specially created to inform visitors about latest news, tips, and the measures to preserve the environment.
The website will offer personalized plans that will enable users to do their bit to look after the planet and includes a ‘Green Pledge’ through which users can choose from a menu of actions to decrease their personal carbon emissions and see the joint impact of everyone who participates.
Yahoo! Green will feature the latest environmental headlines from Yahoo! News, featured content from Global Green USA, Environmental Defense, NRDC, and Lime; blog feeds from environmental authority Amory Lovins, and EcoGeek, green shopping tips, relevant content from Yahoo! Answers, Yahoo! Groups and the Yahoo! Autos Green Center in the near future.
In addition, Yahoo! Inc. has also announced a campaign that seeks to find the greenest city in America. Co-founder David Filo, along with popular actor Matt Dillon and Global Green USA CEO Matt Petersen, will launch “Be a Better Planet”, an initiative program that gives all Americans the power to take action against climate change. The winning city, which will be announced following the program’s conclusion on June 8th, will be rewarded with a fleet of hybrid taxi cabs or the equivalent cash donation, to be dedicated toward city greening projects.
“We believe many small, individual actions can add up to significant change,” said Yahoo co-founder David Filo, who is shown at right launching the contest at a news conference in New York. “We want to make it easy for consumers to do something.”
That’s indeed a positive initiative to keep Mother Earth clean and green.
