RiverWired.com is a nice site dedicated to fun Green videos and also features blog posts by numerous writers. If you’re interested in joining a group of bloggers, or even starting your own group of bloggers, there are quite a few social networking features there as well.

Their tagline:
The best green videos. Ever.

And well, this is true if you’re talking about short Internet video clips.

At the time of writing this the site features 20 plus videos, and I have to be honest, I haven’t watched them all. The ones I did watch however, were full of great info and some interesting pieces about greening cities like New York and Chicago. Most videos are under 5 minutes, some not more than a minute. One I would recommend watching is the How to pick an Apple video for a couple of quick tips I have to try.
