Social Networks To Help You Go Green

A slew of social networking tools put people on the same page to reach sustainability goals. CarbonRally approaches the effort of saving the planet with sportsmanship by inviting users to team up to rack up points for reducing emissions. Make Me Sustainable also aims to help groups green their habits. Care2 has been around so long that it often gets left off of lists of the latest, greatest and greenest sites, but it’s one of the largest hubs for those who care to make a difference.

JustMeans takes a novel tack by getting corporations and individuals to share stories about social responsibility. It’s also got job postings, as do the global StopDodo portal, Green Dream Jobs and GreenBiz.

Facebook(), of course, is home to burgeoning do-good networks, notably Causes. The Lil Green Patch may be irksome, but its makers claim that users’ clicks have saved more than 90 million square feet of rainforest. Other apps with green themes on that alpha-omega social network include Green My Ride, with which users try to out-green one another.

Ning enables anyone to create a custom social network around just about anything.
