Green Tip of the Week Featured Video

Get rechargeable batteries instead of one-time use batteries. Most people do not have the time to take used one-time use batteries to a hazardous material waste center, so they throw the battery away. All the chemicals leach into the environment and bodies of water.

wigiantarctica709 What are your thoughts on the Cash for Clunkers program? 2 Aug 14 2009, 9:06 PM EDT by wigiantarctica709

If you don't know what it is, basically if you have a "clunker" (gas guzzler) you are able to trade it in to be recycled for an eco-friendly car for thousands $ off.
Want more info?

I don't mean to crash the party... and I don't want to start fighting. There is no plausible evidence that global warming is unnatural. The magnetic field was just at its peak... it's slowing down. Of course, pollution is still a problem I agree with that. But I believe Global Warming is actually part of a cycle. We were at global warming and now we're going into global cooling. It will get darker, and the polar ice caps will re-expand. I have no intentions of fighting, I just want to debate what you guys think about it.

Everyone, don't you think that our site is kind of boring to registered users? I mean, there is nothing really to do. You can read green tips, which is kind of boring. Our editorials never get added to. The you page really does not have much activity and after you vote on a poll, nothing really happens. So, does anyone have any ideas on how to make this site better for registered users? Or do any registered users want to confirom the info. in this thread? Then just reply!
Thanks,

~eRICK
