Fabulous collection there. Kudos for putting it together. Though this is by far- very extensive, and you'll surely get a few more 'long tail' sites- a blog to watch out for is this one : The Maati blog- but naturally!
This covers a round up of all things natural from the web: specially some interesting solar powered products, organic products and sustainable lifestyle products. All handpicked- surely to watch out for.
