Goodbye MySpace! So long Facebook! Welcome to sites that let us meet and organize friends, get the latest news, and stay green. As Mashable notes, screw Kermit, because with these sites being green is a snap.

Green or not, these sites are fun online hotspots. Hugg is like a Digg (a site where users vote on their favorite news stories) for eco-topics, Zaadz is a place for like minded earth-lovers to connect, and Dianovo is a blog network that is provided by a company that only uses solar power. Share eco-friendly products and shopping tips on FiveLimes or get alerts about environmental issues through WorldCoolers.

How big is your carbon footprint? Smaller footprints use up fewer natural resources. Take an online quiz to see where you fall. Then, you can make a pledge at Global Cool to shrink that footprint. If you're rolling in dough, you can even buy credits to offset your footprint entirely.

Mixing bamboo and cotton with a touch of cashmere to make the shirt comfy, a French company called Bluebreztel is changing the T-shirt with a production process that’s environmentally friendly. The best part? They use a process that picks out dye colors from famous images, so your color choices are things like the brown from the eyes of the Mona Lisa or the blue of the ocean. Great color and the latest in eco-chic. Everyone needs T-shirts, right?

It's TV time. Tune into MTV to see the new SWITCH commercials. Then, come back here and sound off. Which had the most impact? Which is the cleverest? What would you have done differently if you were the director?

If you haven't gotten a chance to see the commercials on MTV or want to watch more, see them all online.

When it comes right down to it, climate change is all about gas. Specifically, gas released into the atmosphere when energy is consumed. When you fart, that's contributing to climate change, just a little. And when gasoline is guzzled and oil is used, it releases a lot of gas. Like a mega-fart. All those mega-farts combined create more gas than humans have ever produced before, and it's causing problems.

All this gas goes up into the air and creates a kind of blanket, so heat from the sun becomes trapped. This raises the temperature of the earth a few degrees and sets off a chain reaction of events including droughts, flood, and unpredictable weather. The trend is worrying.

Some call this global warming, yet the term climate change is also used because a few degrees of temperature change can have a variety of effects apart from warmer weather. It can trigger droughts in some areas, floods in others, or it can even cool some parts of the world. The exact results are still unclear.

That doesn't sound good. So what can we do? Stop farting. Or at least cut down on the mega-farts caused by using fossil fuels. It takes gas to ship products to our local stores and gas for us to drive there and buy them. The less of this energy we use, the less we'll be affected by climate change and the better off we'll be. Plus, it'll smell a lot nicer.

This website has the coolest business cards ever! Now that’s how to wow job contacts. I particularly like the card that has a seed in it and grows.

And for all other plantable paper needs, Botanical Paperworks is a fun site. Seeds are woven into the paper so you can do things like plant pages of past months from your calendar…and they bloom.

Awesome!

There's more than meets the eye here.  This shows 426,000 cell phones.  That's how many are retired in the US every day.  Craziness.
 

Zoomed in:
 

When they put it that way, it really makes you think.  Look at all that waste; it adds up so fast.  And that's just the US!  The numbers are staggering.

Chris Jordan's full collection has lots of art like this which shows our impact on the Earth.  Check it out.
