Rent Green: Useful links for further reading

We’ve mentioned previously that the Intertubes are full of information about living sustainably. A couple of articles on “Green Renting” might be helpful to fill out your knowledge:

1. Utne Reader’s “Green Renting Revolution” (January 2009) By the way, failing to include links in your article is just not acceptable in 2009.
2. Green Renter, provides a small (but growing!) database of self-selected ‘green apartment communities’ in major metropolitan areas. I think there’s still more work to be done, but additional information can be found courtesy of Sustainable Industries.
3. National Geographic (!) provides a smooth interface to some useful information at The Green Guide. The Home & Garden section shares useful information about household cleaners.
4. Apartment Therapy posts eclectic items on apartment living. One of their recurring features is a focus on small spaces. You can find more of this vein by using a tag search.
5. Planet Green has a multi-page discussion via one of their “How-to” guides. They include a helpful 10 point list of property tips. (additional How-to guides available)
6. Grist’s Umbra Fisk lists some ways to be a Greener Renter.
