About this project
Eco to the People is expanding and needs a minor facelift. As most of you know, Eco to the People is a green living blog, which publishes original content five days per week. With your help, Eco to the People will expand its editorial content by creating a weekly newsletter and will be able to hire a professional to conduct the website's maintenance
The funds the project generates will allow us to complete the following tasks:
1. Design a newsletter template featuring five to six items with a link back to the blog
2. Set up the newsletter with an online provider (such as Constant Contact) that allows the
client to manage and send future newsletters
3. Add a sign-up form that links to this online service to ecotothepeople.com
4. Update RSS, Twitter, and Facebook links on the blog
5. Update the Eco to the People logo
Adding these features to the blog will allow Eco to the People to reach a significantly larger audience of green living enthusiasts and inspire those new to an eco-friendly lifestyle to make more responsible choices. Casting a wider net with the newsletter will increase the site's readership and ultimately make Eco to the People attractive to investors and advertisers.

Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
My name is Heather O'Neill and I founded Eco to the People in 2008 after being laid off for the second time in a year.
Committed to living a green lifestyle, I worried that my decreased income might affect my efforts to spend my money in an eco-friendly way. The seed for Eco to the People germinated when I started researching whether I could be green on a shoe string budget.
What I have found is that if you lead a simple life, you do not have to spend more to be eco-friendly. If you are fancy, you do not have to give up life’s little luxuries to be green. And by no means do you have to wear Jesus sandals or eat twigs for dinner in order to do your part. In short, you can be green and be yourself. You just have to know what to look for and what to avoid.
What you’ll find here at Eco to the People are products that my team and I have tried and tested and found to be wonderful, as well as some stupid-easy, step-by-step ways of reducing the waste in your life. I am expanding into book reviews and how-to videos and promote all of my work on Twitter and Facebook so become a fan.
