News Green Hero of the Week: One-Earth.com
Posted by Mark Asch on Thu, May 28, 2009 at 2:21 PM
As we did with last week's hero, Green Map, we're spotlighting an interactive, act-local website to help you be better. One-Earth.com, which launched earlier this month, is a wiki-powered source for information on food, recycling, energy, locations, communities, and so on, all making it that much easier for you to be that much better, and to help other people do likewise. And — on the off chance any of our readers would like to feel an upswelling of pride in their alma mater — it was started by a former Pratt kid (probably while waiting in a local diner for grandmothers in big hats and grandsons in suits to finish their Sunday brunches so that he could sit down and get his hangover eggs).

I have know the visionary behind One-Earth.com for some time and am behind this venture 100%.
It is to all of our benefit to support a site that works locally and affects changes globally.
I am an avid user of the site!
such an awesome idea. about time someone came up with something like this. Everyone should use this site.
Posting was a breeze
collaboration and community are the keys to an enduring and sustainable future! go one-earth!
One-Earth.com is so easy to use and I like how I can find information and post ideas at the click of a button, using my laptop !!!!!
This site is amazing. Especially the Restaurants cafe section. They have a whole section just for gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian places in NYC.
Nice idea. Looks like they've redone their site recently. Much easier to use now. And some really good articles about local issues of sustainability... http://one-earth.com/city/us/ny/brooklyn
