So, you’re just getting started on your sustainability journey, and you’re wondering how you can learn more about the topic? You have plenty of options thanks to today’s thriving green living blogs.

Here are 10 of the best green living blogs to subscribe to for regular updates and tips about living a greener life.

1. Treehugger

People don’t always use the term “tree hugger” in the most favorable light, but this blog fully embraces the expression.

The blog, which has been around since 2004 and merged with Mother Nature Network earlier this year, has played a vital role in launching green living blogs into the mainstream. It covers virtually every conceivable sustainability topic, from lifestyle to design to technology to business. It truly strives to be a one-stop shop for everything green.

2. Biofriendly Planet

This website takes a unique stance to how they publish and talk about environmental topics. The team wants to veer away from content focusing on problems humanity faces. They post about some of this news for context, but the site focuses on simple, actionable takeaways people can use for positive change. 

Lots of websites discussing the climate crisis have a pessimistic point of view. While things may not seem great all the time, Biofriendly Planet suggests there is plenty to celebrate. With unique columns, like Upward Spiral and Friendly Finds, there is something for everyone. It might be one of the best places to get a pick-me-up if you’re feeling downtrodden about the current state of the world.

3. Green Matters

Green Matters is more than your average green blog. Sure, it includes product recommendations, like the best sustainable mattresses, and solar company recommendations. Green Matters covers diverse topics, including but not limited to:

  • Living sustainably
  • Animal welfare
  • Conservation
  • Climate news
  • Trends
  • Climate justice

But overall, this publication takes a more holistic approach to a climate-aware lifestyle. What does modern academic research say about the health impacts of hunting on humans? Do you know how cold is too cold for your furry friends for keeping your pets safe? Green Matters brings an environmental perspective to all parts of your life. Because, in reality, sustainability is a conversation that spans all subjects.

4. Unsustainable Magazine

Unsustainable takes a practical, serious approach to climate news. It discusses topics spanning ecology, poverty, equality, ethics, and more. It was started by Brett Stadelmann, who started the magazine out of helplessness. He decided to take this energy and morph it into something productive. 

Unsustainable Magazine is now a space to educate and connect specialists and curious minds with the facts — hopefully instigating action and change. This publication doesn’t shy away from what humans are doing to the planet, but the sense of urgency should inspire all readers, nonetheless.

5. Going Zero Waste

Kathryn Kellogg has been a zero-waste lifestyle advocate and sustainability influencer for longer than most. She was one of the pioneers of normalizing an approachable, eco-friendly journey. For many years, she created YouTube videos in addition to her blog, Going Zero Waste.

After a hiatus, she came back with a video entitled “I Failed at Zero Waste Living,” which was exactly what the sustainable community needed to hear in 2024. Kellogg’s is a blog you need to read because she addresses the changes that have happened in individual climate advocacy. She also talks about aligning your priorities to what matters most — which may not be the infamous trash jar. She continues to write, offering insights about everything including ethical forestry certifications to undergoing an eco-friendly home renovation.

6. Inhabitat

Inhabit, which designer Jill Fehrenbacher founded in 2005, focuses on design, architecture and technology, and also provides regular updates on the latest environmental news. It covers innovative design that makes our lives more sustainable and smarter.

7. EarthEasy

Founded in 2000, EarthEasy is part blog, part collection of curated eco-friendly goods.

The blog section features articles on a range of topics including green lifestyles, health and wellness and living off the grid. It also features several how-to guides you can use to jumpstart a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. These guides cover everything from food to clothing to gardening.

The other section of the website is a collection of curated products that can help you live greener. EarthEasy plants a tree for every item people order through its site and also partners with TerraPass for carbon offsets.

8. EcoCult

EcoCult is a green living blog concentrated on fashion and travel. It also has a focus on New York City, since that’s where the founder lives. Beyond the mainstays of fashion and travel, the site also covers beauty, food, home and wedding information.

This site includes a lot of practical tips and resources for those interested in the topics it covers. It even has a database of sustainable fashion brands to shop.

9. Earth911

Earth911 has a lot of great eco living content from technology to home and garden to well-being. Earth911’s foundation, though, is its recycling directory, which you can access on the website, on the Earth911 mobile app or via a toll-free hotline. The resource includes more than 100,000 listings for more than 350 materials.

10. EcoWatch

EcoWatch helps readers lead lives that can impact both the health of the planet and their own health. The environmental news site covers a variety of topics all related to environmental sustainability, including energy, politics, science, business and wellness.
