Walking through the solution

Hey group,
A bit of shameless back patting about to happen...

3 years ago I chose to take a stand and be responsible for creating a strong solution to climate change that anyone could follow.Also to demystify the web of green options each person has in front of them.

It became a software application that took every known source on going green I could find and summarize it into one place. During this research I also did the math needed, so every action has a specific savings in $ and CO2.
Knowing that the average person does not have the same amount of time to educate themselves...I created an online assessment that would give the program clarity into each persons unique options and give a day by day coaching plan on how to green their lifestyle.
No matter where you are starting from...skinny or huge footprint.
I have just finished and launched yesterday.
I am going to market the complete program for $29 and give $15 of that to a non-profit also needing money to further their own Global Warming solutions. It took some time to build those partnerships but they are good and solid programs.
Here is a bit more information and the URL
Please support this effort and spread it out to your connections( if you find it useful)
This has been a labor of love and I hope you find it useful.

PS. I have a certain number of "free" memberships I can give if you need it just email me through the website or here on Tribe.
PPS . WE DO NOT SELL ANY PRODUCTS

Going Green Today is an in-depth online program that looks at your lifestyle and creates simple green living options just for you. We give you an easy-to-follow action plan that walks you through reducing your carbon footprint by at least 35% and helping you to save $2000 this year.

    Scottica - Well it is shameless promotion of a product/service and it IS really annoying that people who aren't participating in a tribe post things they want to sell that aren't really what the tribe's about and don't even bother taking the time to talking personally about their project/product/whatever. Ultimately you're spamming/advertising and, to be quite honest, that doesn't make me think "hey, this guy really cares about people and the planet", it makes me think "hey, this guy cares about making money for himself". You seem to be here to pick the low hanging fruit not tend to the garden.

    All that said, I'm curious to see how good/effective your site is so I'll drop you an email (I'm already living a modest lifestyle so I'm not sure it will do much for me since it seem more aimed towards people who are unaware and inactive...one reason it's odd for you to promote your business/product here...but I'm also open to judging something on its own merit even if it's not for me). I'm not that keen on people who try to greenwash their own outstretched hand by merely passing some of the money they've grabbed along (or saying they will). I'd prefer to give $1o or $15 to a local organization than to you to give to whoever you choose and, if I look at it from a cynical perspective, it seems to be a bit of a way to justify a high profit margin for yourself.

      ok
      Yea, it has been a fine line on who to give to, so we picked 5 Orgs that go after different aspects
      policy
      new technology
      offset projects that show true numbers
      re-forestation
      and 1 that reclaims old growth up in Washington.
      As far as greenwashing...it is a heated debate but I fall in the "carbon neutral through offsetting does not count" camp
      IF I am guilty of spamming, I apologize...just got excited and wanted to share on tribe, to people I thought would like it.
      I belong to 150 groups and only put this out to 10 or so.
