Green search engines are increasing in popularity, particularly since more people are looking to conserve and protect the environment for generations to come. It’s not always easy filtering through search results on broad topic search engines to find high quality green sites, as many businesses are now using this popular topic to sell their products—green or not. (A growing concern known as “green washing.”)

It’s no secret that a number of green search engines have been sprouting over the Internet, but do they review the sites they list? The answer: some do and some don’t.

Using Google Custom Search, a service offered by good ol’ trusted Google, the editors at the green search engine, Green Link Central, hand pick sites to be listed in their search results. While the company receives numerous search engine submission requests, only topic specific, high quality sites actually get listed. (Of course, as with any humans, occasional hiccups can happen, which are quickly fixed once noted.)

Anyone can submit their favorite websites to GreenLinkCentral.com to consider listing in the search results. Many of the submissions come from website owners and SEO specialists.

A comprehensive resource, GreenLinkCentral.com also has separate sections for blog articles and website reviews. The blog articles are categorized by popular topics such as Carbon Footprint, Eco-Friendly Products, Green Building, Green Living, Public Health, Solar Power, and Sustainable Travel. The website review article section is a resource to help people get a glimpse of what other sites have to offer to help them quickly and easily make a decision about entering the site. Website reviews are only for quality sites that are listed in the search engine results.

Many things you learn a long the way of living a green lifestyle, is how to save money but most importantly also how not to waste energy.

Taking the simple step of cleaning the lint trap ( also known as the lint filter or lint screen) each time you use the dryer reduces a potential fire hazard. That’s probably obvious. What may not be so obvious is that this act alone saves energy.

Hot air doesn’t move through the dryer as efficiently when the lint trap is dirty, so the appliance has to work a lot harder and hotter. Keeping the lint trap clean can decrease energy consumption by up to 30 percent. All that routine maintenance goes an awful long way to help extend the life of the dryer,too.

Also, don’t toss that wonderful collection of fuzzies ( Lint ) into the trash… You can compost lint. It can also be used as mulch, as nesting material for your little bird friends And if you do a lot of camping makes excellent fire-starter during our next camping trip.

isn’t living green awesome!!
