Here is a list of sites that give advice, tips, education about environmental issues. If you have a favorite site that you think should be added here, please send it to workerbee@beesfly.org
Tips for home and work:
http://earth911.com/ (Very broad but not too deep coverage of many environmental issues)
http://www.everydayactivist.com/ (Straightforward and simple things to do that don't involve being an activist)
http://www1.eere.energy.gov/consumer/tips/ (Government site with a lot of energy saving tips)
PSE Green Power Program for Homes (info about Puget Sound Energy's Green power program - allows consumers to contribute a little extra to promote the use of renewable energy sources)

Education (need to find good links for these subjects):
Food choices: Organic, local, low on the food chain.
Recycling: statistics, info on electronics, furniture, local events, etc
Renewable energy - life cycle analysis, solar, wind
http://www.b-e-f.org/renewables/ellensburg.shtm (Very cool project in Ellensburg - first example of "community solar")

http://www.envirolink.org/ (Very extensive resource for links to information about environmental issues)
Community events: (also see local events page on this site)
Add link to calendar of local events - EHS site has a good list but is not available from outside Boeing intranet
