A Major Update On Feedback From Jean Hudon, And An Important Excerpt...

First, the excerpt:

"I've had some interesting ideas about creating 3 categories where people will be able to post their commitments:

1) Just pledging to do my best everyday and to learn more about the issues (low level) To have an easy category for those who cannot figure out yet what exact commitments they are ready to make.

2) Listing a series of specific commitments and vowing to stick to them (middle level) Much like you did.

3) Local and global heroes of the environment for a better life for all (high level) This is for the people who consider that their current life commitments is already exemplar. They will be invited to submit a detailed entry about their accomplishments so far as a local or global hero of the environment as a stimulating example to others. They will be invited to explain how their lifetime commitment has changed their life and, as a result, how they feel about themselves and their actions and what is their vision for the future. The most noteworthy entries will be featured (by me or based on a website-visitor voting system if I can integrate one on the site) prominently on the site - accessible from a pull-down menu on the homepage or through a simple link."

I really like Jean Hudon's idea here. Not everyone is going to know enough about this subject to start with an itemized list. I can also tell you that it can be difficult to follow some of the goals you may outline. Current Western /Developed-World societies aren't set up with the environment in mind. You have to put thought and effort into it. The important part is to get started on changing your lifestyle in ways that you do understand.

Our collective actions can REALLY add up!
