Go-Green Goes Live On Earth Day!
CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tomorrow, on Earthday, a new environmental web site will be born: WWW.GO-GREEN.COM. The site offers a wealth of information on all things green for both home and business. Everything from how to select a solar energy system for your home, to information about conservation, recycling, green construction, buying and traveling green and much more. You can even learn what those numbers on the bottom of plastic bottles mean. There is a carbon footprint analyzer that lets you know how you’re doing and suggests ways for you to do even better. The results can be saved so you can benchmark! There is no fee to use the site.
Business managers can learn how to operate a green business, conserve energy, green up their power, and build green. Home and business users can search for service providers and products by type, zip code or other parameters. Providers of environmentally-friendly products and services are urged to register and post their wares. Registering on the site is required to post.
The latest environmental news is displayed on the home page. Full and archived stories are easily accessible. Another unique feature of the site allows a user to find out what eco-events are occurring in their area, allowing the site to be a hub for local environmental activism. Environmental organizations can post their events, such as a beach or river clean up, fairs, rallies, etc. Go-Green users can choose to participate or even create their own event. Environmental organizations are urged to visit and post their events. There is no fee to post an event, product or service.
The Global Challenges section presents information on the main environmental issues affecting our future in a clear and understandable manner. Global warming, sustainable development, energy, pollution, transportation, and water and land use are discussed with the most current information. As voter decisions affecting stewardship of the planet will increase over the coming years, the site will be a critical point of reference on the issues confronting our world.
Go-Green sold 100% renewable power in California from 1997-2000 and was the second largest renewable power supplier in the state.

With a "small footprint, large impact" ethos for 4/20, Earth Day Network & Green Apple Festival:
* Chose parks with eco-considerations like the cities' public transportation infrastructures, pedestrian and bicycle accessibility, presence of an organic atmosphere - i.e. parks rather than concrete stadiums.
* Over 125 venues to become "Green Apple Venues" over Earth Day Weekend (4/18 - 4/20), as Festival organizers introduce eco-friendly practices/products as a new way of doing business.
* With Native Energy, a leader in the space of offsets, the entire undertaking will be made carbon neutral.
* Carry out school greening projects in 3 markets, in low-income neighborhoods
About Earth Day Network:
Earth Day Network seeks to grow and diversify the environmental movement worldwide, and to mobilize it as the most effective vehicle for promoting a healthy, sustainable planet. It pursues these goals through education, politics, and consumer activism. With year-round programs in environmental education, campus activism, global warming and international issues, Earth Day Network combines the forces of its 500,000 activists and members to mobilize action on the most pressing environmental issues. Earth Day Network has a global reach with a network of more than 17,000 partners and organizations in 174 countries. More than 1 billion people participate in Earth Day activities, making it the largest secular civic event in the world.
About Green Apple Festival:
Now entering its third year, The Green Apple Festival was founded by producer Peter Shapiro and Zenbu Media, a music media company that publishes Relix Magazine, Global Rhythm, Metal Edge and Metal Maniacs and co-produces the Jammy Awards.
Since 2006, when The Green Apple Festival began in New York City, the event has galvanized music fans, environmentalists, progressive consumers and families in a growing number of cities on Earth Day by providing "something for everyone" events with music performances, family entertainment and interactive exhibits at public locations. In 2007, capacity crowds attended Green Apple events in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, setting a one-day attendance record at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, IL, for example, with over 40,000 people present. Lending weight to the Festival's endeavors is their partnership with Earth Day Network - the non-profit organization founded by the creators of the first Earth Day in 1970.
The 39th Earth Day will be celebrated on April 22, 2008.
