Green Answers

Green Answers – a community driven, user-generated site for answering your green questions.  Okay, so it’s not librarians, but a great place to go to ask “green” questions and get answers from green minded community people, or share your own answers and thoughts.  Read what other people are asking and explore ideas and questions you might have as well. If you sign up for Green Answers they even plant a tree in your honor.  You can then earn Karma points by asking and answering questions, adding your points up to plant another tree!  Got a reference question you can’t answer – maybe Green Answers can be your “green librarian” reference help.

Reference on the Web: e-waste

Booklist Online offers a nice annotated list of e-waste websites complied by Mary Ellen Quinn, such as the EPA’s eCyling Greenpeace’s annual Guide to Greener Electronics, and and Earth911. Visit the page for more details especially if you are looking for ways to get rid of old electronics in your library but don’t forget to share these links with your patrons and staff too.
