Earth911.org: A Website with a Global Mission
The buzzword at Earth911.org is "actionable" information. It is not enough to tell people to recycle their batteries, Earth911 provides not only information on why you should recycle your batteries and the process involved, but also the closest locations of where their batteries can be recycled. Pooling together information from government agencies, earth friendly corporations and private organizations, Earth911.org becomes a clearinghouse for the green generations insatiable need for information.
A common use of the site is to find recycling centers. To do this, goto Earth911.org, type a ZIP code and click on the type of waste disposal needed. The system searches its database and locates the closest available recyclers for that waste. Popular searches include recycling of new low energy fluorescent bulbs, e-waste (old computers & monitors) and the seasonally popular Christmas Treecycling Program where this year's Yuletide tree becomes next year's fish habitat or beach erosion protector.
The site is advertiser supported, however engineer Jeffrey Rassás, the chief executive of Global Alerts the parent company of Earth 911, has explained "Our advertisers are on a very narrow, well-defined course." Focusing on advertisers like Staples with a stake in recycling programs or green living keeps the site on message, while still providing the financial support to keep the company afloat.
With tips on Green Living, environmentally responsible Shopping, Energy Conservation, Composting, recycling and more, Earth911.org is a great resource for any environmentally conscience citizen to gather information to live greener.
