An excerpt from "GREEN SEARCH ENGINE MAKES TIME.COM’s TOP 10 LIST OF NEW WEBSITES":
"People want to go green, but they often don’t know where to start or
even what questions to ask," says Joey Shepp, founder of Green Maven.
"Green Maven makes searching for all things green as easy as using
Google. If you search for socks, you get organic socks. If you search
for cars, you get hybrid cars. Our mission is to make it easy for
mainstream to go green."
GREEN SEARCH ENGINE MAKES TIME.COM’s TOP 10 LIST OF NEW WEBSITES
San Francisco, CA – January 5, 2006 – GreenMaven.com is the world’s most comprehensive "green search engine" which allows users to search the Internet for trusted websites and news. Launched in late 2006 by a team of Green MBA graduates, Green Maven has reached a total of 1600 websites since its launch. Most recently, TIME.COM recognized Green Maven as the number nine best new website of 2006.
"People want to go green, but they often don’t know where to start or even what questions to ask," says Joey Shepp, founder of Green Maven. "Green Maven makes searching for all things green as easy as using Google. If you search for socks, you get organic socks. If you search for cars, you get hybrid cars. Our mission is to make it easy for mainstream to go green."
Green Maven uses Google’s recently released Co-op Search technology to making searching fast, easy, and relevant.
"Going green has never been easier than with Green Maven," reports Lee Ettleman, TIME.COM. "Editors at the site hand-pick web pages and news items related to the environmental movement—about everything from eco-friendly cities to organic socks—that can then be searched using the Google tool on the homepage or browsed through using a directory."
The name Green Maven came from applying the growth in the green economy to Malcom Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point.
"Green is the color symbolizing earth, nature, and in a broader sense, life. A Maven is a trusted expert in a particular field who seeks to pass knowledge on to others." (Wikipedia.com).
There is a growing segment of the Internet community searching for news, products and services that match their environmental and social values.
GreenMaven.com was designed with Open Source software by the leading sustainable website development firm, Earthsite.net makers of Urth.TV and GreenFestivals.org.
Green Maven is looking for contributors. Listing in the directory search engine is free. Once websites are submitted they will be approved by Green MBA editors.
