Hehe, yes from the YFCI Labs. I am still developing this idea, but I think it will be a big hit. The page will be filled with facts, ideas, posts on the boards about Global Warming, how you can help, and an interactive quiz; "Are you Green".
Any ideas?

The page will be filled with facts, ideas, posts on the boards about Global Warming, how you can help, and an interactive quiz; "Are you Green". Any ideas? Sure it's a great idea! On the page, we can have data about how global warming is affecting different countries, its effect on the planet as a whole, effect on crops and vegetation, effect on the foodchain and what consequences we'll have to face if it isn't controlled soon. We'll write up some tips or pointers on how we can make a difference in this issue in our everyday lives. And yeah!We'll also create an online petition on global warming (as we decided in December last year) and give its link on that page. This page will have full coverage of this issue with a few photos, info about list of agreements & conventions made on global warming etc. It's a great idea and will hit off very well. What should we all do?Should we search for good websites on this issue and post links here?Are we going to collect and post our facts and findings in this thread?

We'll write up some tips or pointers on how we can make a difference in this issue in our everyday lives. That's a great!~! Originally, I was just going to post some I found on another site, but this idea is better! From a Youth Perspective Yes! That was our plan, and I forgot all about it! Let's just figure all this out in this thread. "How green are you? Quiz"; Does anyone know any service where you can create quizzes and the results will tell you if you are green or not?

Sounds good.
With "Build Quiz", we cannot specify the results. Here is what we want:
Question # A B C D 1 4 2 3 1 2 2 1 4 3 3 2 3 1 4 4 3 4 2 1 5 2 1 3 4 6 2 1 4 3
How GREEN are you?
20-24 points: Excelent! You are "SUPER GREEN". You don't waste energy and don't damage the environment.
15-19 points: Good Job! You are "GREEN". You know the earth's problems and are trying to conserve it. Continue your ways.
11-14 points: Agrr! You are "SOMEWHAT GREEN". You know about the environmental problems, but you aren't doing anything to save them. You need to improve.
0-10 points: Horrible! You are "ANTI-GREEN". Your atitude is very irresponsible. You NEED to change.

haha! Don't worry about it! I'll do it:
The GOGREEN Initiative is basically a program to be environmentally friendly. This initiative tries to get members and non-members to think about how their actions will affect the earth. Therefore, we will be launching the GOGREEN Initiative sometime in April.

Anu, AK, raised a very good point to me the other day. We can tie in EARTH DAY! Ok, we need to get this project started. This is what we need:
- Facts and Figures, that youth would WANT to know - Petition created and moderated - Quiz set up; hopefully find some type of quiz sytem, that you can create the results (Green or Not) - "Green" Pictures of plants, trees, rainforests, etc. It would be nice if YFCI Members actually took the pictures, but if not, thats ok. - Related Links!
You can either submit in this board, or you could email me at zkomes [at] sbcglobal [dot] net And more!
I think we should have these pages on many different issues, like TakingITGlobal's "Understanding" and YouthNoise's "Channels". What do you think??

I think we should have these pages on many different issues, like TakingITGlobal's "Understanding" and YouthNoise's "Channels". What do you think?? Firstly, thanks Zach! Yes members, the Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 all over the world so I thought we should get this project going and perhaps unveil it on Earth Day itself.So let's get going everyone! Okay now, I have a question here.Should we post links or articles about global warming on a global level only?Or can we have country-specific facts or tidbits of info about the effect of global warming in our countries as well? Could you please explain your last idea a bit more?You're saying we should have unique pages for every issue?Give details please. Here's some links about quiz building services I found.I don't know whether they're good enough or not.Please check them out - www.cyberquizzes.com/www.quizbox.com/builder/www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/www.makewebsites.com/www.prongo.com/quizstation/quizstar.4teachers.org/www.contracosta.edu/library/sites/quizsites.htmwww.users.on.net/~wayne_r/Themes/quiz_builders.htmAnd yes!We could also create comic strips, cartoon characters, puzzles or flash cards along with the quiz to make the page more interesting.Check out this link - www.ac-nancy-metz.fr/enseign/anglais/Henry/create.htmI'll see if I can find more.I have a few links on global warming and I'll be posting them soon.Please see if any of the above links is useful or not.

Well, I think we could have some of both. Ambassadors could write articles on how global warming effects the lives in their countries. What does everyone else think, including you Anu? Yep, just for a future reference. I think we should have pages, like this new GOGREEN page, about many different issues. Back on topic.. GREAT!! I checked the first 2 out, and I'll check the other ones out later (I'm on Holiday ).. Thanks allot Anu!
