I’m sure many of us would be greener if we understood more about what it meant. But the discussion has to move away from the emotional before you’ll get the attention of more people.

If you can accomplish that, then you should be able to gain ground for sure. Your goal - to change at least ONE person - is a good, achievable one.

For myself, I try not to set project goals (other than “hey, let’s try for 30 participants”) but prefer to let things fall out where they may. I’m satisfied that folks are meeting each other because of them.

Anyone else have some suggestions for Pelf?

“Save the Ocean” group-writing project begins

And I am hosting the second group-writing project at the moment. The theme is “Save the Ocean” and I got bloggers to send me their script so that I can publish one post everyday in January (it’s like a guest post). Participation isn’t something to shout about, since only 12 or 13 topics were taken up (out of 31) and I had to write the remaining topics.

Perhaps bloggers I know aren’t that green after all. Or perhaps we are all better off writing about things that we are good at, and many of us aren’t good at talking about the environment.

So will I do it again? Definitely. Because to me, even it ONE PERSON has benefited from the project, it is considered a success. Plus, I measure success not from the amount of comments that I have received, nor from the number of new subscribers that I have as a result of the project, but from the kind of awareness that we are all able to raise and spread

Perhaps you have a suggestion for me? What environment-related topic would be broad enough for a blogger?
