.Green
Turns Earth Day into Earth Month - Celebration
Continuing This Weekend in New York City
|
|
While
Earth Day
was held on Wednesday (April 22),
the .green
registry has been
holding a month-long
celebration around the event. In
fact this weekend DotGreen is
sponsoring the GreenFestivalExpo
in New York City, a 3-day
event that will continue through
Sunday at the Jacob Javits
Convention Center.
|
|
|
|
As
part of its Earth Day/Month
celebration, DotGreen
Community is also sponsoring
local San Francisco
events such as the Green
Film Fest and Earth Day
San Francisco, and
connecting the global green
movement through posting links
of Earth Day related events
and blogs on their website, Community.green.

DotGreen
Community also recently
announced a $10,000 Earth
Day gift through DotGreen
Foundation to EarthShare,
a non-profit federation that
partners with business and
employees to develop workplace
giving and learning
opportunities supporting the
environment.
On
Earth Day itself this past
Wednesday, DotGreen announced
that several major
corporations, including General
Motors and Fetzer
Vineyards were using .green
domains to promote their Earth
Day and green endeavors. Other companies
who have signed up for .green
domains range from major tech
corporations to big box
retailers and a global
payments corporation. Smaller
companies, individuals and
nonprofit organizations
supporting environmental
initiatives are also utilizing
the new gTLD.

Vineyard’s

added
"Sustainability has
been part of our company
DNA for more than 25
years. Our actions speak
for themselves, and we
see the .green
online platform as a
tremendous opportunity
to showcase our green
initiatives, share our
sustainable practices
with our industry and
connect with our
customers and the
growing green movement.
Fetzer.green is now live
and online."
Sharon
Basel,
Sustainability
Communications Manager
at General Motors
said, “At General
Motors, we see every day
as Earth Day and every
day we are making
progress in reducing our
environmental impact and
footprint. We |

see
.green as a channel
dedicated to
sustainability where we
will be able to get this
message across and cut
through the Internet
clutter in reaching our
stakeholders and
customers." |
