Magic Number

350

350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide--measured in "Parts Per Million" in our atmosphere. 350 PPM--it's the number humanity needs to get back to as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change.Quoted from 350.org

OWN STORY 1.
Ages ago, I heard how bad the dispossable nappies are for the environment, and straight away decided that when I will have a child I will use a terry nappies and not add to this massive rubbish production. So when I become a mother I did as planned. It was hard, but could have been easier if I would get more support from my new family. I got a WEIRDO LABEL and people laughed at me behind my back.
I needed a community of people who would be supportive.

OWN STORY 2.
The other day, I met a guy in my part time job, and started a conversation about a plastic bags and the attitude towards geting one or not. He said that he doesn't care and called me a eco warrior. It was not an argument but a discussion about a difference between convinence and a need.

I disliked both experiences and the placement in the eco warriors movement.

I need to use a facility like facebook or a very good emailing system because I want people to create a community within which they could feel that there is more to the issue than their own standby DVD player. I need a website which will gather information and links for organizations which promote not only energy issues but are beginning to be a gate for other Eco friendly initiatives. The system should involve money as that is a key for creating further investment and creating events. It should be speaking to a broader audience than families with children as I guess we are on the same boat.

And also I want to make it less eco looking, more engaging and more interactive. I llive in a society which wants a quick solution, and a very quick result. Laptops have to be finner, internet connection faster, and games more real. I wonder if there is a way of creating a virtual environment constantly showing our future environment, concentrating on a place we live. Your own garden and flat/house.

Creating a connection 1.
1. Poster promoting a new royal mail stamp.
2. Stamp leads to a website where a user can register. Each stamp should have a code which will be used to register on the website and also give them a free gift/envelope or an extra stamp voucher.
3. User is promped to create a profile and answer some questions.
4. Users will also enter their postcode and be able to locate themselves on a map.
5. They would also be told what is the energy effieciency in their neirbourhood. That would be done annonysmouly.
6. There would be a prompt to find users which would agree on that to connect them on facebook and other social sites.

I need to look into Facebook facilities and look into other sites like my space and so on to see how easy is to connect between different platforms.
