What is the difference between groups and commitments?
Groups contain different commitments related to groups. Users can join the group and then discuss or commit to commitments.
How can I commit? There is no commit button.
That is right. There is no such thing as a commit button. You can commit to
commitments just by writing you commit to this topic. Or you can discuss about it. The more important is that you take actions and share your achievents with community.
For example, if you like "I plant trees" commitment you can say something about it. Like "I will plant one tree once a year”. You cannot do that each year? Do it once in your life. You cannot do that at all, but you respect others doing that? Tell others you appreciate what they do, award them with drops. They are doing that for your planet too.
When you write the whole word, this includes a conscious thinking process, and when you write “I commit” you probably really mean that. While a click is still only a click.
I like the group but I cannot commit to each commitment within the group?
You support environmentally friendly mobility, but you have no access to public transportation? Should you still join this group? Of course. There are other
commitments you can commit to. Maybe you want to share your dissatisfaction with that fact. Discuss other commitments. Do whatever you believe it is good for environment and you have ability to participate in. There are no sanctions except one. If nobody takes any actions the planet will.
I see no adds. How is this community financed?
The community is created entirely by enthusiasm and time devoted by people who care about the environment and the planet. Currently, there are no adds or other commercial supporters of the community.
Hopefully, this community will become one of the largest communities in the world. Not for the sake of the community itself but for the sake of the planet. This will require different resources. However, this community will never support any activities, advertising or other actions that are not in line with the spirit of this community.
On the other site we support and encourage non profitable organizations and companies to support the goals of this community and share their environmental efforts with others.
The choice of groups and commitments is very limited. Can we expect more to come?
Definitely. Depending on the group size and discussions there will be new groups and commitments. Mostly they will be created upon community member recommendations.
We believe the best thing is to start with general and global groups and commitments. The more specific and locally oriented will follow. A person in North Europe might not feel the same environmental issue as the person in Central India. Some people have access to good public transportation while others live hundreds of miles to the
first train station. While some areas are clean and not polluted, others are littered with garbage.
The community offers creating events and we count on that. It allows members to announce and participate in environmentally related events, like trash cleaning activities, mass use of carbon free transportation vehicles in certain periods and others.
Are there any important persons community members?
Each member is important. Each member consumes air, drinks water and we assume everybody likes both if they are clear and clean.
We appreciate the efforts of some well-known persons who devote their time to make the world a greener place. If you are one of them and you want to join, help and promote this community, do that. If you believe you can promote any of the activities in a special way, please contact us.
How much can we really do for the planet?
The larger the community, the more actions we take, the better is the outcome. One smart person said: “The ecology is a very selfish science. It does not care about the environment and planet, it tries to keep it as it is – most comfortable for humankind”. Life on earth can have many forms.
From microorganism that live deep in the see water to human beings. The first do not care about air pollution very much, for the second clean air is crucial. There were some species which could not live in atmosphere as we know it today after the appearance of the oxygen.
There will be new species which will appear after possible atmosphere changes, but others will vanish. Humans might be one of them.
What are drops for?
Drops are virtual rewards based on your activity in this community. The more drops you collect the more is your activity recognized within this community.
