That is amazing. I'm so happy just a forum not dedicated to such would do this. Very nice decision.

Technically it's not stinking.

Happiness is not a thing that can be pursued,
chased or won. It can only be chosen.

Are you expecting a pat on the back for this measly little gift?

How about donating 60 dollars per week?  Or even per month?

I donated 30 dollars every two weeks (every paycheck) to various foundations and charities.  

60 dollars, ONCE, is a paltry amount, and should have been given in secret, instead of acting as a reason to prance around and call oneself 'green'.

This is just stupid.

Thank you for taking the time and concern to point out my error.

I ammend my previous statement and say that it is abosofantabulously awesome.

I'm sorry (not really), but 60 dollars is NOTHING compared to what the LW members 'donate' to the site itself.

You are right in saying that $60 is relatively little compared to the amount of energy demand in the world. However, it shows how responsible organizations like LiveWire could easily afford to offset their activities, and it's not just for companies -- homeowners can do the same. Tell your friends, tell your parents.

LiveWire is doing its part and we are proud of it.

I THINK I should have respect for you, davjs, if only for creating this site, but I don't want to sit back and let you twist my words.  As of yet, I haven't lost respect for LW's leader, but it might come to that, if the site progresses much further down the path it is headed.

I didn't say it was little compared to energy demand.
I said it was little compared to -what gets donated-.

I have already encouraged my co-workers to sign up for the biweekly donations, to give a little of their money to the available organizations and charities.

My parents already know my stance on this, and have given their bit as well.  When I call them every Sunday, to check how they are doing, they remind me, almost every time, of how proud they are to have raised such a son.
