These are not all the Green and Eco Blogs in California. But it is the start of a source to assist you in finding local environmentally friendly sources to assist you in sustainable living. I have tried to cut and paste the ‘Abouts’ on each of the blogs/websites- to give you a better idea of content. Some titles are self explanatory. 

Oh Yeah- just because they are listed- doesn’t mean I agree or endorse any of their opinions. 

You have a local green  California city blog, please let me know, will be glad to add to the list.

  • Greenerati-’ (Bay Area)  Instead of us getting up on our soap boxes covered in no VOC green paint, with dyed green hair (all symbolic of course) we decided that the better way to inform, educate, excite and entertain everyone interested in green real estate and lifestyle was to create this blog.

  • Journey in the Woods- Why are we moving to the woods?It’s difficult to sum up in one statement, and so we started with a list:

    - to build and live more closely with the land and environment and to breathe clean air
    - to have space to do projects: carpentry, alternative power, gardening, wine making
    - to be more in touch with traditional ways to do things: cooking, building, living
    - to live affordably and sustainably
    - to see the stars, sunsets, moonrises

  • Saving the Sierra veryone, rural and urban alike, has a reason to care about conservation of California’s Sierra Nevada. This magnificent mountain range offers an experience of nature to over 100 million visitors each year. It’s also provides 2/3 of every drop of water used in the state. With the population of the Sierra Nevada estimated to triple by 2040, rural life, working landscapes, and community identities are bound to change. Let’s talk about how to conserve the environment, economy and culture of the Sierra. And your place, too, wherever you live.

    Some very intresting ideas and comments. I came across this page whilst looking for cheaper energy prices http://cheaperenergy.wordpress.com My bills haven risen by 35% this year and am now facing yet another increase by these greedy energy companies. (Thankfully I only rent so don’t have to worry about a mortgage as well.) Has anyone tried this green and cheap renewable energy? If so, be intrested to know how it worked for you.
