19 Sustainability Blogs You Should Definitely Follow in 2023

Founded by entrepreneur and eco-advocate Graham Hill back in 2004, Treehugger is now the world’s #1 information website about mainstream sustainability.

This site gathers over 31 million readers each year, which is astonishing, to say the least.

In 2007, Graham sold Treehugger to Discovery. 

Treehugger has many practical everyday tips, such as eating edible garden weeds or finding 19 clever uses for spare rubber bands.

It’s about everyday environmentalism you can sink your teeth into.

Some eco blogs can get a little preachy or self-righteous at times, but Treehugger is opposed to any kind of self-important “I’m better than you” writing, instead embracing new people who want to learn more.

They’re also really good at holding “greenwashed” companies accountable for their actions, which we’re all here for!

EcoWatch has emerged in recent years as one of the go-to sustainability blogs that provides up-to-date environmental news stories about climate change and tips for living an eco-friendly life. 

Not a day goes by where the team of researchers, writers, and editors doesn’t post new content about everything from green living to sustainable fashion and green technology to movie and documentary recommendations. 

The team also regularly provides updates on sustainable development from around the world, giving readers not just the typical doom and gloom stories. 

And if you want to learn more about sustainable food, what’s happening in the world of politics, and how to make the transition to a carbon-neutral and zero-waste home, then EcoWatch is where you will learn it all. 

So, naturally, EcoWatch sits on the second position of my list of sustainability blogs. 

It’s hard to believe that this sustainability blog started its life in the 90s as a simple recycling database. 

The progress this team has made over the last 20 years in transitioning to one of the most authoritative resources on sustainable living is absolutely amazing. 

It still has one of the web’s largest recycling databases, but you now also find tons of information. 

Earth911 covers tons of subject areas — sustainable living tips, increasing your energy efficiency, buying more eco-friendly products for your entire home, and up-to-date news and science about climate change.

It really is a one-stop shop for finding daily changes and sustainable practices. 

I must say, Earth911 seems almost like a encyclopedia for eco-conscious netizens. 

Clearly, one of my favorite websites for spending some free time.
