A disclaimer first: this is a shameless self-promotion post. Yesterday myself and the team over at CNET Networks UK formally launched SmartPlanet (you can get the offical press release here). The basic gist is news and reviews of anything green or ethical. Plus a bit of humour. And a lot of research. If you've ever wondered whether an energy-saving gadget, organic beauty product or so-called green car are as good as the hype proclaims, the site should be up your street. In a personal capacity, I'm going to find it really useful, since a lot of these 'conscientious' products are only available online and you're basically buying blind when shopping at ecotailers. One of the ideas behind SmartPlanet is too take the guesswork out of that, as we'll have checked out the eco and ethical creds, done our research and actually sampled or tested the product hands-on. Like any site, it's a work in progress -- so please let me know what you love or hate in the comments. I know everyone says it, but I'd genuinely like as much feedback as possible.
Congrats on the new site! BTW, I linked to your radiator foil post -- I'm blogging the Carbon Fast for Lent, today's action involved foil and radiators (baffling to most Americans), and you provided a very coherent explanation of the process. Thanks, Green Guy :-)

This looks like a very helpful site. So many new products claim to be green, it's refreshing to have a source that analyzes and compares similar products and cuts through the hype.

Looks great! Definitely be keeping an eye on the reviews when looking for new green products.
