How did you find us?

Hello there,

By way of introduction I found my way by web search.

I was keen to know why if there is such urgency to reduce carbon footprint, the street lights are not turned off completely in non essential areas? Any thoughts. My tghoughts are that this would reduce carbon usage quite a bit on something so unnecessary.

She found the group in Care2 (we're both members), and thought I'd be interested. She was right.

Good to be here, tho I may lurk around a bit before I begin posting much. I need to get my bearings. My friend will be posting here as soon as she gets a break at work and can get to the computer.

Bright Blessings

I just have no clue, maybe on VB.com or VB.org, been there and EVERYWHERE for days now looking for stuff.

I guess I was just guided by the energy here

Thanks very much, for this Forum

Sickning to say this but here are the three primary reasons, "convenience",

"To deter criminals", "Liability if someone is injured in the dark by tripping ect. law suits"

Less big business profit if lights turned off.........

I want to join some kind of sustainability community. I searched sustainability forum through google and found this site as the first result .

I ran a seach on Google, something along the lines of "Discussion Forums, Environment, Ecology" and ended up here.

I searched for "environment forum" on google and this website was a sponsored link on the right side of the search results page.

Hello,

When I was searching for good Environment Forums in Google I found this interesting site.

I found this via a link on the AVForums website. Where they do have a Climate Change sub forum, recently changed to Reducing your carbon footprint forum, but it can be very hard work. There are a huge number of people out there who believe they are better informed than the worlds climate scientists and the IPCC and seem to be convinced that Climate Change is nothing more than a pan-global scientific/political conspiracy that has gone undetected for decades. I get fed up with it all sometimes, so I will come here for some more reasoned discusssion.
