New Green Communities Website Showcases Eco-Friendly Homes, Green Builders & Green News

Wilmington, NC (PRWEB) November 10, 2008 -- Searching for information on Eco-friendly communities is overwhelming and time consuming; as more communities pop up around the country the search will become more difficult. Green Eco Communities (http://www.greenecocommunities.com/) is a new website devoted to making it easy to navigate through green communities, villages and towns throughout the U.S.

The most convenient feature of Green Eco Communities is the easy to navigate map and menu that allows users to find a green community by state (http://www.greenecocommunities.com/states.php); select a state and browse through green communities within that particular state. Communities can also be found by typing the community's name into the search box on the right hand side of any page.

Once a user clicks into a community's page, there is a description about that specific green community's amenities and features. In addition to a summary of the community, the individual pages feature easy-to-read lists of the community's green criteria, amenities, green features and contact information.

"With all the information on green communities that's out on the internet it's easy to become inundated by the shear volume of results. My goal with Green Eco Communities was to make a one stop site for researching green communities in the United States," Ty Downing, owner of Green Eco Communities said. "The site is a work in progress. It will continue to grow and improve as more and more people 'go green'," added Downing.

Green Eco Communities isn't just a resource for those looking for a green home or a green community. For those who are searching for current topics on green living, the Green Eco Communities website offers a few options. Green Eco Voice (http://www.greenecocommunities.com/blog/) is the official blog of Green Eco Communities. The blog offers tips, tricks and news on living a sustainable life. While on the site, users can also subscribe to the Green Eco Communities newsletter, pick up eco friendly tips or read articles on LEED certification, choosing a green builder (http://www.greenecocommunities.com/builders.php), how to avoid greenwashing and more.

Both individuals researching green communities and those who market green communities will find Green Eco Communities a valuable site. Green Eco Communities offers several advertising options. Advertising is available for certified green communities, green services and/or products and certified green builders/contractors. Advertising a green community (http://www.greenecocommunities.com/advertise.php), product or service is free until December 31, 2008. After that date advertisers will need to participate in their advertising program. The program includes affordable rates to advertise on Green Eco Communities, which ranks at the top of search engines for searches related to both green and sustainable communities.

Features of Green Eco Communities:

• Green communities searchable by state
