Reactions to the "Green Tips" Thread
No time to read all of this right now, but I read most of the first two posts. Really good stuff, but just one comment. You're losing your focus on the topic at hand and drifting into things like how employees are treated and how fairly a company deals when discussing "Reuse", and like workers possibly being underage and underpaid in Pakistan when discussing "Recycle".
Skipping the political commentary would make your articles more focused and a little less lengthy, which could lend them greater impact with a larger audience. Inform and educate, don't preach. |

Still, I'm sure I can improve on how I weave the human element into the story. I'll work on that.

I just watched this awesome video and recommend EVERYONE to watch it:
http://www.clearbits.net/torrents/547-home-2009 BTW this is a legal torrent, and it is one of the best videos I've ever seen. There's tons of valuable information. For example, did you know that 20% of the world's population consumes 80% of the world's available resources? It is truly eye-opening.

we have violated spaceship earth ? --we are a product OF spaceship earth--, and we are doing what our DNA is driving us to do. ANYTHING humans do, is what is going to happen, and it is EARTH. we violated nothing. yeah so are we gonna try to stop polluting and whatnot, yes. But a violation ? check your head. we are EARTH. accept it. next planetary reset, earth will shake it all off and start again and again and again until the sun dies, or earth shatters |

Kudos for making good use of the feedback that you've been getting. #3 is much cleaner, easily digestible, and referenced. Good stuff!

What's not to understand? Playing big fish in a little pot hole puddle of a MB won't get too many eyes opened to the so-called reality, but trying to launch a year-long assignment giver project in a much larger MB will get the word out much easier, OR it just might get lost in the shuffle and drowned out by all the other voices, guess that's why we got it here, in a MB devoted to one of the most economical vehicles on the road.

I'm here because I drive a Yaris, you're here because you make money (even a little off of me)...Bailout is here for applause, and starting subjects with his name in them; this is not just an oppinion, it's a fact. Sorry. Bailout, thanks for the effort and the hard work (the only thread you're devoted to, for weeks now) you're putting forward, in a high mpg mb...I still think an environmental awareness mb would be 10x more effective, or try going after driver's of gas guzzlers like Hummers, F-150s, Mustangs, etc...I'm afraid you would get called a douche and laughed out of there, IF you started every thread with your name in the subject, passing out assignments for them to follow, or you'd be shoved back to the 3rd page so fast nobody would even notice you. Thank you. There. Answered your question. Probably shouldn't have.
