The environment needs our help. There is undeniable proof that global warming is real, and negatively impacting our world. It is our responsibility to live a more environmentally conscious lifestyle. At SocialEarth we believe social media, specifically Twitter, can be a powerful tool for educating people and cultivating support. Previously, we’ve highlighted the top social entrepreneurs and microfinance people and organizations on Twitter, and now we want to highlight the top Green tweeters on Twitter. These tweeters fall in a variety of categories including green news, green fashion, green lifestyle tips, and others. Follow them. Retweet them. Support them. Their work is more important now than ever before. If your tweets support the environment, please add your name in the comments!

Awesome list Erik!
Thanks TP!
Check out the Green Schools Alliance @Greenschoolsall, http://www.greenschoolsalliance.org, schools taking action on climate change and the environment. K-12 schools are the perfect starting place for green change!
Thanks for the great tweeps! we posted one like this about remodelers! i'll be checking these 140 out for sure, though
Wow! You missed http://greenlivingideas.com, http://bluelivingideas.com and http://twitter.com/seandaily
Thanks for adding Jeff! We knew we couldn't capture every green tweeter. Cheers!
Hello Erik
WOW I just wanted to say a very big thank you for listing WWF_Climate twitter so high. Am very touched and humbled that we have managed to get such a big shout. This being the year of climate change it is amazing to see how much the medis is now reporting on all things green. Even a few years ago this would not have been the case.
Again thank you and many of the other twitters listed are fantastic so well done on a great list.
Cheers Claire
Following most and great to have organized by category. Thanks.
Hey, you forgot to add @earthhour in the organisations http://twitter.com/EarthHour
I'd suggest adding @NatureConsCDA to your list of green orgs…But that would make your list 141 long
Thanks for developing such a great list of eco people out there and putting them into categories.
Check out how and why we are ECO-CHIC :
http://www.celadoncelery.com/blog / follow @celadoncelery
Thanks Celadon! We're glad you find it useful.
Since it's in the comments, consider it added!
Glad to hear!
Nice catch, thanks for adding them. They've done a tremendous amount of good.
Thanks Claire. We love the work (& tweets) you do. I think many of the of the organizations on the list have a similar challenge of educating & engaging people in their cause. We here at SocialEarth are trying to inform citizens of the work they do. Awareness is the first step to change.
Well full disclosure, I work on social media for Earth Hour
I would add @greeneventco to the list. They cover all the green events that are happening around the globe.
Thanks for the great list. Check out @allgreentome for enviro coverage of the mid-Atlantic
In the green fashion section I would add @planetprotect. Great clothes…Great advocate for the environment.
Check out http://GeorgiaPlanet.com (@GeorgiaPlanet)
Cool site for people that live here in Georgia. The guy who created the site is really connecting people with diverse backgrounds, income, etc. and connecting high school and college kids with business and community leaders!
Two more to consider: @greenmaven and @greenmba
@Greenmaven- the worlds largest green search engine and green business directory. Tweets new submissions and interesting news stories.
@GreenMBA- From Dominican University of California's GreenMBA. Tweets sustainable business ideas and news.
I follow a lot of great green transportation/car related tweeters:
