Web content – and news– often comes and goes in a flash. Green News Update wants to give you more evergreen coverage —  stories and content on sustainability and green living with a longer shelf life. It’s our purpose and our style. Maybe that’s why people in 95 countries visited our site last year.

In 2013, we published 58 stories and 440 photographs on the environment and world culture: monarch butterflies, endangered species, innovations in urban design, exhibitions, environmental heroes and more.

The portals below will guide you to the series and stories that captured the biggest interest in 2013. Our #1 ranked series was Rewilding Europe, an in-depth look at conservation initiatives from Russia through the Balkans to Greece.

Green Museums was #2, with a focus on Pittsburgh’s array of green gardens and museums. And there was plenty of interest in our Books recommendations on cities, gardens, photography and natural history.
