What we are all about...
GreenMuze.com represents the new breed of environmental website. We offer an engagin online setting for innovative thinkers who appreciate reading the latest in green news, information and product reviews in a sexy, well-designed atmosphere.
At GreenMuze.com we regularly post the latest in green design innovations and hopefully, we also provide a dash of inspiration to encourage our site visitors to get involved in the rapidly growing environmental revolution. Yes, we said the R word!
Revolution time
When we talk of revolution – we talk of a world where we are all awake and present instead of unhappy and asleep. For us, it is not just about refusing plastic bags or driving an EV, rather we also advocate for finding ways to heal our disconnected relationships with the planet, animals and each other.
We really need to toss around ideas, argue, confront, question, query, riot, celebrate, sing, make love and dance (There must be dancing at the revolution…). We offer GreenMuze.com, not as a space with all the answers, but as part of the dialogue, inciting free, furious, rebellious, jubilant discourse. Everyone is welcome, no question is too stupid and every opinion valued.
Walking the walk
GreenMuze runs as a carbon neutral project. Once a year, we calculate how many computer hours (and any car trips) it took to create Greenmuze.com and purchase carbon offsets with Native Energy. Our web server is HostGator a company that offers carbon neutral web hosting. We are also a green certified site with CO2Stats.
We implement a zero waste policy at Greenmuze.com — every item used at our office is recycled, nothing goes in the garbage. We use recycled, Forest Certified Stewardship paper for printing and mailing, cornstarch biodegradable pens for the odd bit of writing we do, we refill our computer cartridges and we use LED lights in our office space.
Every business on the planet, big or small, can operate a sustainable business. It takes a bit of effort and ingenuity in the beginning, but the savings — for the planet and pocket book — are well worth the extra effort. We find inspiration in Socrates’ words - “Let him that would move the world, first move himself”. (Although we would have preferred a more gender inclusive pronoun.)
Sharing the green
10% of our after-tax proceeds are donated to organizations working to help the environment — from alternative energy education organizations to individuals helping the homeless find green shelter to groups committed to reducing animal suffering to activists who blow up logging trucks and need some help paying their legal bills. We don’t have a lot of greenbacks yet as we used our savings from our square jobs to pay for the creation of the site and to keep it running for a couple of years, but we look forward to spreading some green goodwill.
