Green Thing is a very cool site that offers ways in which you can help live a more green lifestyle. There are a lot of these sites cropping up, so Green Thing stands out by making a fun online environment that gives you more encouragement than you may find elsewhere.
Suggestions for green living are offered on a monthly basis. So for October, the green thing to do is to walk somewhere (I walked to get coffee yesterday). So to help spur you along, Green Thing offers some playlists for your mp3 player, so you'll have fun doing it. Green Thing also offers you additional information for the monthly green thing, such as why this activity is green, how it will impact the earth, etc.
Once you've done the green thing, you can mark it, and add your own flare (say you did it with a smile and a wink!). These are displayed as community updates throughout the site. Green Thing tracks your actions, and displays your shrinking footprint. Don't forget to mark when you've done something again. You can add friends on the site, though I don't see a messaging option. Check out others' profiles to see what they're up to, and see their impact as well. Other sites include MyAbodo and GreenVoice.
