Save money and fight global warming? That's what Consumer Reports wants to help you do with GreenerChoices.org.

Launched in conjunction with Earth Day, GreenerChoices.org features some of your typical Consumer Reports fare (with a green twist) including green buying guides for appliances, cars, electronics, food and home goods. For example, the computers page gives background information on toxics in electronics and e-waste stats, in addition to tips on buying new and whether you should "fix it or nix it".

Another draw is the Global Warming Solutions Center that lays out simple solutions everyone can take at home and on the road to reduce the individual carbon footprint.

Most of the static information on GreenerChoices.org is contained within a blog, so unless you're clicking on featured tips from the home page, there are a couple of extra clicks involved to get to the heart of some of the information. Other links navigate away from the consumer reports site altogether. But overall, GreenerChoices.org does serve as a green guide 101 with many helpful tips, information and things to think about for consumers who want to make some greener choices.
