GreenPosting

It’s almost the norm these days to see a business that claims to be “Earth Friendly” or “Going Green” or “Practicing Sustainability.”  But how, the heck, are you supposed to know who is REALLY doing their part and who isn’t?

Thanks to Jonathan Davis, it’s a bit easier.

Davis created a website called Green Posting that lists local businesses (yep, it’s a Portland product) that are Earth conscious.  But, participants are not taken at their word.

First, a business has to send in an easy-to-read statement of what EXACTLY they do that is so green.  Anything from using recycled paper to encouraging employees to use mass transit.  Then, users of the site get to check in and write reviews on the companies.  If a business is caught not living up to their standard, they get booted.

Since its launch last year, the free service is growing rapidly.  You can scope things out here.
