Green Maven: Search the Green Web

Eat green, clean green, shop green. Now you can search green, too. That's the point of Green Maven, a search engine that concentrates on environmentally concious websites. They're the key to all things environmental on the web. Consider it Google gone Green...

We did a quick search for "dishwashers" and came up with dishwasher cooking from Treehugger, a green dishwasher consumer guide, and more.

They also serve as a portal to green news, service directories, and products. It's a great new resource.

I just tried searching a number of things - and the results were all the type that a green girl might hope for. This is wonderful.

I hope more people have seen this post than indicated by the number of comments.

Congratulations on your new site! I wrote a whole long thing in yesterday's other green thread, and somehow it didn't get posted, something strange happened.

I'm a kitchen designer and publisher of a website for kitchen and bath pros (not attached to my name below). I will post a link to your site post haste. I ask every one of my clients if they want to have a green philosophy in their kitchen remodel. None of them are interested. Or, if they are interested at first, later, they don't want to be "guinea pigs" for all the new green products that are cropping up. I can't say I blame them. I do not have experience with green kitchen/bath products in terms of durability, like cabinetry, for example. And, I recently read somewhere that Richlite is not wearing all that well as a countertop material. I'm very open to green, I offer it to everyone, figuring I'll do in increased depth research if someone says yes, but when you're redoing something that you redo maybe once or twice in your life, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, and which could cost (cabinetry) $100,000, or even half that or half that above 100K, all very high numbers, I don't see it as being near the mainstream in the short term. I'm very open to it, but it's a little scary to have to stand behind huge ticket items, hoping you don't get the call "this finish is not wearing well". That's a nightmare. And, yes, I've been very curious as to the very little response on these two threads. Again, I'm wide open to it and continue to offer it, but when someone bites, I'll be real careful and will think of whatever disclaimers I'll need for the products I'll supply. People need to consider durability as well, don't they? I think they do.

should be "increased in depth research" not "in increased depth research"
