EarthTrends Syndication

What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a technology that promotes information dissemination by providing data in an XML-based format. With RSS users can receive real-time updates through feed readers (also called aggregators), or the information can be automatically generated on another host (e.g. blogs, news sites). For more information on RSS refer to Wikipedia.

Rather than scouring a website looking for updates, RSS will deliver the updates directly to you. EarthTrends allows you to customize the information you receive by subscribing to one or more of our free RSS feeds listed below.
