He’s the founder of the #EcoMonday hash tag and a prolific blogger from Maine who writes about politics, energy, and the earth’s resources. He’s pulled together his own great list of green twitters for his blog on the Mother Nature Network.”
12. @dothegreenthing “Do the Green Thing is a London-based not-for-profit public service that inspires people from around the world to lead a greener life by doing seven simple things. Members can join via Facebook and share videos about their journey, kind of like a super green YouTube. The Green Thing’s twitter feed offers a wealth of interesting editorial links, like this story about a chocolate-powered racecar.”

The documents projected 2009 revenues of $400,000 in the third quarter and $4 million in the fourth quarter along with 25 million users by the end of the year. The projections for the end of 2013 were $1.54 billion in revenue, $111 million in net earnings, and 1 billion users.[2] No information about how Twitter plans to achieve those numbers has been published.
