A Brief Blog Profile: The Greenists
by Thomas Hynes
The Greenists are a collection of writers looking to find the right balance of an environmentally-conscious modern life. Their aim is to help readers make green decisions with regards to their pets, their homes, their food and their cosmetics. They want us to consider a product's origins, where it'll end up, its impact. These choices shouldn't be taken lightly. The Greenists are here to ensure we weigh all the factors before purchasing. They're here to help us know the true costs.
For instance, they'll go so far as to tell us the 5 ways we can recycle our underwear. I didn't know you could recycle underwear one way, let alone five! But you can. You can also stay green in the snow. You can even put sweet potatoes in a burrito as part of Meatless Mondays. There's very little 'can't' on The Greenists. And that's probably what I love most about it.
There's also just a lot of valuable information on here, too. You can learn how to compost, the value of conserving water and the benefits of hemp. There's actually a tip of the day feature. They want to help. They want to make us the greenest we can be. And with a blog like this, and a little creativity, we can change our habits. We can change the way we consume. And ideally, we can change the way we affect our ecosystem

ProfNet Connect is a free, interactive online community where PR professionals, experts, and media professionals can network and engage with one another. Via profiles, forums and blogs, subject-matter experts can position themselves as the go-to source for content creators and journalists. In turn, content creators can search the site by keyword to find the experts they need. The site also features enhanced profile capabilities, allowing users to easily add multimedia components -- photos, videos, white papers and more -- to their profiles.
News Widget
Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
