Greeniacs.com is an all-green social network and website.  Our mission is the following:

Greeniacs.com wants to spread the word about going green in a non-threatening and non-judgmental way.  We won’t scold you if you drive an SUV because at Greeniacs.com we believe that people are only responsible to do what is within their means to help the environment.  We don’t expect people to completely change their lifestyles but instead encourage them to become educated and take whatever steps they can towards living a more sustainable life.  If you’re interested in learning about what you can do to green your lifestyle in a fun, friendly, and encouraging environment, then Greeniacs.com is for you! 

Greeniacs.com publishes original content on the site in the form of articles (GreeniacsArticles) and guides (GreeniacsGuides), descriptions of relevant green links (GreeniacsLinks), listing green events (GreeniacsEvents Calendar), and green business and organization listings (GreeniacsDirectory).  In addition, we research and respond to questions presented by our members in the GreeniacsBlogs and GreeniacsForums. 

The Content Manager contributes to this content him/herself in addition to overseeing a team of interns, who work remotely and communicate mainly via email, who are expected to write articles and guides, research and respond to questions posed in the blogs and forums, create new Polls and Green Facts, and add listings to the GreeniacsDirectory.

The Content Manager is expected to remain updated on current eco-friendly/green/sustainability trends in order to publish material on Greeniacs.com that is relevant and cutting edge as well as provide interns topics for writing assignments.  The Content Manager provides interns with concrete assignments with time frames, edits intern submissions, and reviews intern timesheets for accuracy before submitting the timesheets to our Chief Financial Officer for payroll.  The Content Manager works closely with the Greeniacs.com Webmaster and web developers in addition to other Greeniacs team members.  He or she is also responsible for answering the Greeniacs phone line in the office and occasionally responding to the Customer Service email account requests.  Participation in local green events to represent Greeniacs.com is also a function of the Content Manager.
