PowerBars for the Mind: 14 Sites I Read on Good Business & Smart Thinking

Here are the blogs and sites I read (about half of them I read or skim daily) for sustainable business news and perspectives on good business, marketing and blogging. I like to sign up for a daily or weekly email feed so I can skim headlines and ideas without having to remember to visit the sites individually.

• 3BL Media Committed to the triple bottom line. Daily feeds of CSR and sustainability news, companies, events and ideas.
• Cause Shift A new platform for bringing together brand, non-profit, corporate, social media and political creatives to map a better a world. Hunger elimination is the current focus.
• ChangeMakers Ashoka’s newsletter on social enterprise. Salt-of-the-earth, getting-it-done stories.
• Change.org Action-oriented stories on sustainable business, political activism and cause.
• Chris Brogan Community, social media and brands. Like Seth’s, I read these daily emails every morning.
• CSRWire.com I skim this every day for press releases and news stories on sustainable business and cause marketing campaigns.
• Rally The Cause Scott Henderson writes on causes, companies and non-profits.
• Realized Worth Corporate social responsibility and corporate volunteering from Chris Jarvis and team.
• Selfish Giving Joe Waters writes a terrific and humorous blog on all things Cause Marketing.
• Seth Godin Because his blogs make me think more. And I like that. The marketing whiz behind Squidoo.com.
• SocialEarth A TechCrunch-like site for social entrepreneurship. News, interviews and opinion pieces.
• Sustainable Life Media Producers of the excellent Sustainable Brands conference, this organization also hosts smaller workshops and reports on sustainable companies.
• TriplePundit More than 30 contributors make this a fertile site for sustainable thinking.
• What Do You Stand For? Tactics, lessons and data on cause-oriented programs and consumer behavior from Cone, Inc.

This is just a shot from the whiskey bottle of sites and blogs focusing on socially responsible business. Which ones make you think harder?
