I’m not doing a Green Building Recap this week. Instead, in honor of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, I’d like to list my favorite women green tweeters.
This week, TreeHugger created the Best of Green Reader’s Choice Awards, but I noticed women were quite overlooked in the nominations. I found a teeny handful of women tweeters hidden in the eight categories. The nominated men are are my friends and colleagues and deserving of the recognition, but there are plenty of informative, life-changing green blogs and tweet streams written by women. I messaged @treehugger, but got no response, so I figured I’d honor savvy, bright, hard-working women on my own. I’d like to thank Tim Hurst (@ecopolitologist) again for posting a list of his favorite female green tweeters in observation of #IWD.
These are the women’s green Twitter streams I read and learn from daily:

Thanks so much Nan – honored! There are so many women that could/should be acknowledged for the great work they do (you included!!)
A few more off the top of my head are Beth @ecosphericblog, Bethe @balmeras (TheGrassStainGuru) and Kasey @2greenfish. There are many more that deserve mention too but those are a few I thought of right away :)
Nan,
Thank you so much for including me on your list, despite our Vintage Hat Friday silliness!!! I really do try to make green building affordable and break down the issues so that even I, a simple pink-haired gal, can understand them. : )
Honored!!!

Those are good ones to follow, too, Tara! Thanks!
Hey, Copeland, there are not too many people doing net-zero prefab kits! You are cutting edge!
Honoured, speechless, flattered, grateful
Love & warm fuzzy hugs to you : )))
Keep sending those great posts out, Suzy! <3
Cheers for recognizing green blogs and tweets by woman. Honored to be included.
There are many of us sharing the eco friendly & green lifestyle in hopes that others may find it easier to go green.
List helps to find blogs, info, tweets and online ‘like’ connections.
There are many shades of green in categories like: food, travel, nature, auto/transportation, building, science, environment, technology, politics, it’s endless. If we can bring the information in a simple form to others, it may create the understanding the going green is not hard, it’s simply a matter of making the change.

You know more than most that bringing the information & lists in simple form, bring light to the simplicity of Eco-Living and encourages Going Green.
Environmentally Yours
