Green Websites - 75 Different Great Environmentally
Friendly Websites
A list of the top 75 green websites, where you can find information
on all the different environmental issues on the web.
The list has been compiled by Dave Hampton "The Carbon
Coach" and includes areas such as green businesses, environmental
education, government sponsored websites and political causes.
Although the list has many different issues and websites it
is slightly biased towards issues surrounding low carbon, this
is because it is one of the biggest issues faced by the world
today.

| Sustainable
Soil and Water Ltd |
Company to promote 'EM Technology'
- the use of Effective Microorganisms to help create
a sustainable environment through totally natural
methods.
Sustainable Soil & Water Ltd is a company dedicated
to EM Technology - the use of Effective MicroOrganisms
(EM) - EM is a mixed culture of fermentative, soil-based,
beneficial micro-organisms which can be applied
in many environments to break down organic matter.
They secrete beneficial substances such as vitamins,
organic acids, chelated minerals and antioxidants
when in contact with organic matter and which act
as a probiotic. When applied, EM increases the microbial
diversity of soil, thus, enhancing growth, yield,
quality, and disease-resistance. EM cultures do
not contain any genetically modified micro-organisms
and is made of mixed cultures of microbial species
that occur naturally in environments worldwide but
which have decreased in many soils due to over-use,
chemical fertiliser and pesticide use. When used
in feeds, EM improves the health of animals. EM
can be used in all agricultural systems and our
products include 'N-Hance' - a farm slurry treatment
and 'EM-Silage' - which both increases yield from
all ensiled products and reduces methane production
by livestock.

| Stop
Climate Chaos |
We believe that civil society organisations
- environment and development groups, faith groups, humanitarian
organisations, women's groups, trade unions and many others -
are in a unique position to mobilise public concern, and through
this the necessary political action, to stop climate chaos. By
working together in a diverse, broad-based coalition we believe
we can deliver results that none of us can achieve alone. Nothing
on this scale has been attempted before on climate change, but
anything less is unlikely to be successful.
