Ethical Angel on November 6, 2007 | 765 Views

 Another green website with promise has launched!  www.SmartPlanet.comTheir description is here: "SmartPlanet is your one-stop guide to creating a smarter, greener and fairer planet. We're bringing you the latest news on ethical shopping and living -- from the hottest organic fashion and fresh Fairtrade grub to new solar gadgets and the coolest hybrid cars.You can also expect eco celeb gossip, a healthy dose of greenwash-bashing sceptism and up-to-date minute video reports on everything ethical.

What you won't find: green guilting, preaching and another Top 100 Save the Planet list telling you to fit low-energy bulbs."

Already I like the fact they have the green business and financial news, a refreshing extra to most eco-consumer sites...
