EnviroWonk.com was created by Hank Green and Dave Loos. Hank started EcoGeek.org a couple years ago and felt that the world needed a politics blog. So he started talking to his friend Dave, who'd spent a few years in D.C. covering environmental politics for Greenwire, a subscription based newswire.

Of course, with their powers combined, there was no choice but to start up an Eco-Politics blog. And as dave is undoubtably an envirowonk, the name just sprang into existence.

We like to think that EnviroWonk fills a surprisingly empty niche. Enviros can complain all the want about being underserved in the 2008 elections, but take a look at the blogosphere and you'll notice we're underserved here as well. EnviroWonk finally fills that void, with insightful, informed, commentary. And yes, with the world the way it is, it's hard not to crack a joke now and again.
