| Here are some of the websites that I think are worth visiting regularly. Why? Because they measure up as resources that you can refer to again and again, especially if you want to live sustainably.

Ishmael.org - If you've read this site's purpose, you'll know that Daniel Quinn's books were what first got me thinking about what it really means to live sustainably. Apparently, I'm not alone. At Ishmael.org, you can connect with other people who've been influenced (or angered) by his work, and even get in touch with DQ himself.

PatternLanguage.com - Based on the classic book by the same name, this is a website dedicated to helping people literally build a sustainable future. There's a lot of potential in the field of "green" architecture, and websites like this envision a world where "green" is the norm...
In Practice
DolphinBlue.com - Here's a business that's actually walking the talk. It specializes in environmentally-friendly (and often recycled) office supplies. I had a chance to interview the founder and president, and he's living proof that it's possible to start and run a successful business that's environmentally responsible, too.
