Wikia goes green, empowering masses to save the planet
Jimmy Wales wants to build the world’s greatest handbook for going green. Actually, he wants you to build it. The makers of Wikipedia have launched Wikia Green, a “project to build a community generated online resource that is home to the best information about green topics and issues.” There are many other sites out there trying to be a one-stop shop for all things green, so perhaps this is one — in the spirit of Wikipedia — that will actually work. Can’t hurt, right? It’s worth keeping an eye on this site to see how it evolves over the months.
