EcoGeek.org Blog shows that technology can help save the environment

With EarthDay right around the corner, I thought I would dedicate the next couple of Best Bitz of the Web reviews to websites that promote green technology and/or the environment.

Luckily, this week I am able to do both with this weeks review of EcoGeek.org.

As a self confessed gadget geek and also a person who cares as much about the environment as I do about my next computer upgrade, this is a site that I got interested in very quickly.

As their About Page description begins “Technology can be a force for evil, or for awesome…EcoGeek devotes its pages to exploring the symbiosis between nature and technology”

Ecogeek.com was originally started as a graduate project by the author Hank Green as an assignment from his professor, and it has developed into one of the reasons I love the blogosphere. This site and others like it provide me with news about technological advances to keep an eye on that no one in traditional media even touches (other than the occasional Discovery or Science channel show).

EcoGeek focuses on the synergy that can be achieved by combining technology, environmentalism and capitalism in creative ways to help reduce pollution, reduce energy costs and basically clean up the environment, while still living as or more comfortably than we do today.

I usually try to spend a little time each week going through these pages, with almost 1500 posts and approximately 10 more added every day, they have some really interesting information that almost everyone can find something of interest on.

The website itself is very easy on the eyes and laid out very well. (I’m considering using EcoGeek as one of the sites to model the next version of Tech-Bitz.com after, I like the look of it that much)

All posts are clearly designated to specific categories as found on the right side-bar menu, with a minimum of ads and other clutter that make up a lot of the web today.

All-in-all anyone interested in either gadgets, technology and/or the environment should really put EcoGeek on the short list of sites to check out this EarthDay.
