Treading Lighter is happy to announce we are now featured on Green Maven, the green search engine. Launched in 2006, Green Maven now boasts over 10,000 entries in its search engine, and 4000 businesses in its green directory.

The founders aims are to spread the green word by the “collective power of the internet”; and so to that end, the site also features the latest news feeds from Digg, environmental videos on YouTube and what is apparently the latest must-have – a Twitter feed.

It’s these resources that in my view make Green Maven stand out from other web directories that, lets face it, are all over the place these days, and rarely offer much value past a company’s telephone number.

If you have an earth-friendly website, you can submit it for free, and once your site is vetted, it should appear in a couple of days (they do ask that you link back to them somewhere on your site though – and who am I not to spread the link love?!).

And just in case you were wondering what a maven is, it’s a: “trusted expert who wishes to pass their knowldege onto others”. You learn something new every day!
