Easy Ways to Live a Greener Lifestyle - Top Ten Green Websites

Deciding to live a greener lifestyle can be somewhat overwhelming, especially since there is so many aspects of green living to consider and the information available seems endless and sometimes even conflicting. What if, like myself, you are merely striving towards a greener personal existence, but not quite ready to completely go solar-vegan-100%recycled-sustainable? We all know about changing our incandescent light bulbs to CFLs and general household recycling, but are there more ways that are less daunting (and expensive) than converting our homes to solar power or buying new hybrid cars? Actually, there are many small changes in personal lifestyle habits that can create significant positive changes in the global environment. Many popular eco-friendly websites provide simple resources to help the reluctant eco-converts in going green. While there are seemingly infinite green websites, these are ten of my personal favorites:
