AlternativeConsumer.com Celebrates Its First Anniversary

Popular, eco-friendly blog turns One! With exciting plans in place, the site looks ahead to more sustainable growth in the coming year.

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 17, 2008 -- Eco-friendly blog and webzine, The Alternative Consumer (www.alternativeconsumer.com), just celebrated its First Anniversary.

The eco-conscious site provides insightful product reviews, news and info to the next wave of smart consumers, earth-friendly individuals who want to integrate more "green" into their buying decisions.

Alternative Consumer searches out topics, products and concepts that embody the latest trends in sustainability, design innovation and earth-friendly manufacturing to a socially conscious consumer hungry for a healthy, greener lifestyle. An upbeat, sassy and often humorous editorial style keeps the blog both an informative and entertaining read.

Over the course of the past year AlternativeConsumer.com experienced exponential growth in site traffic, and was featured in several Best Green lists, including Fast Company's "3 Top Blogs to Save the World" and Read/WriteWeb's "Top 35 Environmental Blogs."

Publisher Maureen O'Connor has been interviewed for Lux and Pasadena magazines, and the Eco-Centric blog. The AlternativeConsumer.com's content is featured on Environmental News Network, Natural Path and many other websites and aggregators.

As a complement to her existing team of experienced green bloggers, Ms. O'Connor has added teen-writers, contributers from University of California San Diego, Guest Bloggers, and a canine correspondent, Seamus the Eco Friendly Dog, who covers nose-to-the-ground issues for the green kennel crowd.

What's on the horizon? AlternativeConsumer.com may soon be offering Alternative Consumer branded clothing, along with a limited selection of endorsed green products, as part of an expansion into e-tailing. The site plans to continue its on-going series of product give-aways to its readers, in partnership with various green retail websites and manufacturers.
