Roll out the greenย carpet!

DeSmogBlog has received 3 mentions in the 2008 Green Webย Awards.

DeSmogBlog was named โ€œrunner-upโ€ in the Climate Change Websites category, which is fine by us when you consider that the top 3 spots ahead of us were the UK government’s ActOn C02, the BBC‘s climate change site and the Greenpeace climate change site.ย 

DeSmogBlog received a third place prize for its work on exposing ExxonMobil’s greenwash on climate change. And the runner up in the greenwash category was none other than our new affiliate site Coal is Dirty – a site dedicated to exposing the โ€œclean coalโ€ industryย myth.ย 

This is the first year of the Green Web Awards and the recipients were determined by surveying the opinions of the โ€œweb’s leading environmental bloggers and social mediaย users.โ€

Thanks to all of you out there who contribute to DeSmogBlog with your comments, newstips and assistance – its all of your contributions that make this site what itย is.

Onwards and upwards!
