Challenges and opportunities of
technology in society
Next event: LIFT Asia, 4-5 September 2008
Actually, I haven't exploret the website that much today, but I really wanted to react about this website: it's exactly the kind of initiatives that a lot of students in design work on and I think Tom Taylor really brought a nice spirit to this project.
In few words the website is a social platform for people to act in a positive way for sustainable development. The humorous pieces of advice propose a real deep education, based on really simple actions for everyday life. Tom Taylor (www.tomtaylor.co.uk) explains that for him, a green thing is:
- positive
-easy
-creative
- a group thing (the aim being to base the efficience on the mass and on the peer respect)
an application enables each user to visualize it energy consumption, and the CO2 economized through his initiatives.
Really, to my understanding a very interesting intervention insofar as the whole platform proposes a new glimpse on ecology, and especially make it accessible to anyone.

I agree with you!
I agree with you! www.dothegreenthing.com is the best ever seen about environmental education!
I'm working on an analysis of this website... And I would like to find a lot of information about it (reviews, interviews of Andy and Naresh, figures, stats, targeted public, all is good!)... And I would like to know where you found that information in your post "Tom Taylor (www.tomtaylor.co.uk) explains that for him, a green thing is:
- positive
-easy
-creative
etc etc.
I can't find this information on his blog... Please can you help me?
Thanks a million!
