“Green” Internet

The environment is such a hot topic right now in the news and available information is endless. The best places to monitor for breaking news and events at the local and national level include the AP daybook, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and City of Chicago Department of Environment. Other useful local publications are Conscious Choice and Chicago Wilderness magazines.

All of these sources can be found on-line at the following sites:
