Today marks the official launch of a project that started as a idea in a meeting I had in La Vega last August with a few DR1ers.

It is the first blog we know of dedicated to environment issues in the Dominican Republic -- and even if it isn't the first, we aim to make it the best, most unique and most interesting. We hope you'll agree.

Why do I keep saying "we"? Because it's a team effort. Find out what I mean by following the link below to the blog:


http://www.dr1.com/blogs/?u=environment

Hopefully the link will be listed soon in the DR1 blog index.

We welcome all suggestions, feedback, both here and in the blog. Blog topic ideas, things you'd like to see tackled, welcomed! And if there are any more interested and talented volunteers out there that I haven't tapped already, either email the Team at greenteam@dr1.com or PM or email me through the DR1 message board.

Congratulations! I think this is awesome. Can you enable the comments on the blog so we can respond to you?

I look forward to reading this on a regular basis, learning and being able to do my part to help the environment.

As a suggestion with each issue you raise, can you put several little things that each and every one of us can do to help out. This could be a regular feature and allows all of us to do something to help.

Thanks, planner.

Actually, I enabled the comments function, but the comments links are not being displayed for some reason. I'll check the template code and see what's up. Thanks for pointing that out!

Also, thanks for the suggestion. Duly noted! Not sure we can do suggested actions for individuals for each and every subject we plan to cover, but we'll give it a go. ;)

Best Regards,
Keith

Great job Keith and crew. I am looking forward to reading!

Color and background is a litle rough on the eyes though:cross-eye. Is that going to be permanent??

Thanks, Larry.

LOL Did Rob put you up to those color and background remarks? My answer to you is same as to him: this is what the team voted on.

But we'll probably modify and clean it up some as we move forward.

Me, I'm more concerned with content. ;)

Two thumbs up!!

Tremendous idea! Here's hoping it becomes the next forum on DR1!
Perhaps some of us can suggest simple and cheap ways to help in eliminating poisons & politicians that are so detrimental to DR's well-being!

Thanks for the compliment, Juan.

Actually DR1 already has an environment forum. The Green Team wants to try a different approach than the typical message thread, something always informative and positive, forward-looking, in a medium (the blog) where the cynics cannot troll at will or spark petty wars of words.

As for the your last suggestion, I think we'll steer clear of that one! Don't want to be labeled as terrorists by the authorities! ;) :cheeky:

Larry, I'll make a deal with you: you stop serving as the front for Robert's discontent with the template chosen by the Team, and I won't make any jokes about you fetching his coffee. :cheeky:

I really, do not like the color. This has nothing to do with Roberts opinion. Of course I am still looking forward to reading as it is a great idea.

As far as the coffee jokes, I am immune to them at this point so fire away my friend :classic:.

Well, reading it is all we ask. We don't ask anyone to marvel at our fashion sense. ;)

Well, if and when you join the Team, you can vote on whether and how we alter the blog. Until the team goes for something else, you (and Robert) will just have to live with it.

What do they say about assuming...

As for the coffee comment, 95% of you would sell your own mother's to live his life :)

Oh no. My first entry on the Green Team blog was going to be called 'I went dancing last night and was horrified at all the styrofoam cups, sound pollution and fumes from motoconchos at the disco terraza'. Delete and start again.
