Lesthertod Yes indeed, it's a sad thing. This however, may be an interesting learned social behaviour. For what I've seen in the Gamification trend, we are discouraged when compared on absolute leaderboards....
Mary Jander It is sad that the people have to choose the least of several evils. Then again, we seem to be doing that in a lot of countries lately. Sigh.
Lesthertod That's indeed the message NewDream
Here in Mexico a rat ("rata") is usually associated with a "ratero" (burglar/thief) and our politics have earned this nickname.
Lesthertod I do wonder if a Dogplomat would do a better job. Definitely, the message is pretty clear. And if we add that to what the YoSoy132 movement started, anyone could tell that the citizens are not h...
Lesthertod Yes indeed, the citizens are angry, the problem is that we are not sure of what (or who) is making us angry. There are too many things that may be working better. This is however, a task that's...
RamonAntonio This wil probably be deemed a side issue but there is ample data to support it and I think its pertinent to at least take note of this posibility. In my research and studies regarding Chritianity...
Supardi Recycling is a Tall Order!
richheap Thanks Stotheco. I'm not trying to claim the UK is a great example of 'green' development. My understanding is that Australia is a great exemplar in this area, with the UK and US behind, but good...
PHILatADEQ Recycling takes practice
Mary Jander Good point about superficial support, Rich. I do think it will take time for managements to put financial effort behind their endorsement of green buildings. As they say, talk is cheap.
kokopelli Now you have to be tall to be green?
stotheco This is definitely good news. Other cities should follow the example that has been set in the UK. It's time to go green and there's no better time to do so than now.
stotheco Thanks for the link, James. Definitely looks like a promising project. I'm all for green and this community looks very good.
stotheco Oh, and I forgot to comment on the new column. It sounds like a great weekly post and I will definitely be looking forward to this. On a side note, I love cats but I doubt they can hold office well....
stotheco Whoa, so that's what things up to? Juice attacks? It sounds amusing at first but you'll see later on that it's clearly not.
richheap Re: support from senior management, we should remember that there are two types of support. There's the support that says 'Yes, I support this idea and it's exactly the sort of thing we should be...
Mary Jander That planned community looks great, James! I'm glad to see the use of solar energy so prominent.
