Greenlifestyle is a non-profit online community of urban residents in Indonesia which was established as a sharing platform to discuss relevant tips for green living in the country's cities. The community began as a mailing list in June 2007, and includes approximately 1,400 members from Banda Aceh (Western Indonesia) to Jayapura (Eastern Indonesia) as of July 2010.[1] An ongoing focus is the exchange of practical and cost-effective green living tips and information that can be applied in Indonesia. Greenlifestyle is managed by a loose team of volunteers on a part-time basis.

Occasionally, Greenlifestyle volunteers participate in related events in collaboration with other non-profit organisations, e.g. encouraging the public to reduce the use of plastic bottles during outings,[3] or raising awareness on waste issues to schoolchildren.[4]

The community members also get together at occasional events to learn how and where to recycle paper, make compost, design a green house etc. At these events, a pooling center for recyclable plastic, bottle, paper packages and used batteries is often provided.[5]
