Green Links
I am fascinated by civilization's constant quest for innovation and efficiency. In the past years, with the growing concern for the health of our Planet, there has been a growing trend towards living well while preserving our environment.
The majority of the links below lead to websites of companies, portals and products which focus on thinking and acting in a manner which, in one way or another, improves the way it used to be done before. The other links which are not necessarily "green" have also been included here because I have found them to be interesting and excellent in their scope.
If you wish to include your company or product in this list, please contact me at green@castellobranco.net
