A Blog On Eco Friendly Products, Politics, Philosophy, Debate & Solutions Of Our Green Community

Together In Raising Awareness Of The Need For A Sustainable Path Of Living Here On Earth


Nol image The Eco Friendly Blog is the mini-journal about eco friendly products, sustainable renewable resources and community discussion, questions and comments about the impacts that our decisions and actions have on the Earth and its inhabitants. It is brought to you by Nolan, the Eco-Wizard, and vast visitor contributions.

This web log lets you know whenever any new pages of interest have been added to Eco-Friendly-Emporium.com, alerting you about any new products, eco friendly companies that I have discovered in my research or even a blurb about an eco topic or green philosophy that I find myself pondering about.

The blog will also keep you up-to-date on content and ideas from the user community of the site. New eco pictures, videos, eco profiles and comments from eco friendly citizens all over the world!

The site users and I tend to think BIG even though we are not corporate giants or powerful politicians. We feel we can make a difference by helping to drive the debate, raise awareness and offer solutions. If this sounds like you, you may participate in the United Nations of Eco Friendly Green Citizens posting and commenting forums here on the site.

Here is a list of some of the national eco friendly citizen forums:

Australian Assembly Eco Forum
Canadian Assembly Eco Forum
Chinese Assembly Eco Forum
Indian Assembly Eco Forum
Russian Assembly Eco Forum
United Kingdom Assembly Eco Forum
United States Assembly Eco Forum

Request an Assembly Forum for your country here

You can also meet those of us that have created an Eco-Friendly-Emporium personal story site profile, which we call our Declaration of Eco-Friendliness or not so friendly in some cases. You may read some of the Declarations of Eco-Friendliness, get a little inspired and create one for yourself if you wish to.

After you create a Declaration page, be brave and head on over to the Eco Friendly or Unfriendly Moment-of-Truth Confessions page, which may become the most important page on the site... It is where, over time, we can really learn what goes through our minds at the moment of truth, as each of us make eco-friendly or unfriendly purchasing decisions or actions throughout the year and use this insight to help us form good solutions for going forward.
