I spent the weekend updating TipBin, and today it goes live again. TipBin is a site about sharing small and relatively simple tips for reducing our carbon footprints which, together, can add up to huge change. From the homepage:
The World is changing... And not always for the better. Climate change and global warming are no longer considered theories. The top 10 warmest years on record have all occurred since 1990, and global emissions of CO2 are predicted to increase at least 74% by 2030. China alone is adding two new coal fired power plants to its power grid per week.
And just so you don't think I believe everything I read:
One final note... I'm the first to admit that nobody fully understands climate change, and that no single person or group has all the facts or answers. But regardless of how much or how little peril our planet is in, I believe very strongly that conservation and waste reduction are always positive. When it comes to climate change and pollution, we have absolutely nothing to lose by assuming the worst, and everything to gain.
I first launched TipBin about a year ago, and learned a lot from the process. The most important lesson I learned was that spammers are the scum of the earth, and will stop at nothing to pollute every form of user-generated content on the web. I deleted all the illegitimate posts, stepped up my spam protection, and made a few other small code tweaks, and now it's ready for prime time once again. Have a look, and let me know what you think.
