This week’s online Carnival of the Green host is Conserve Plastic Bags, a blog designed to educate consumers about the consumption of plastic bags.
As host, Conserve Plastic Bags gets to select the content of this week’s forum, chosen from emails sent in by TreeHugger’s readers. The blog is focusing on summer, providing suggestions on summer reading, summer cooking, summer eating and summer cleaning.
This week’s content includes alternatives to bleach cleaners, reusing plastic bottles to keep slugs out of the garden and how to opt out of unwanted mail.
Next week’s host will be Plant a Tree USA, and Conserve Plastic Bags is set to re-host the Carnival the week of Nov. 16.
Hop on the Ride
Carnival of the Green started in 2006 and is currently in week 186. The idea is that a different green blog each week will take control of the content, presenting sustainability issues for that week with a slant provided by the host.
The forum also highlights the top “green tweets” of the week, with anyone eligible who adds #bestgreentweets to their tweet. Other ways to get involved in the Carnival of the Green:
- Sign up to host a future week on your green blog
- Send in a link to a post you think worthy of consideration, including the author’s name and a summary of the post
