Hi Checoslovaco,

I see your point about attacking all sources of environmental damage and look forward to seeing Green Challenge fleshed out more.

Thanks for looking into this idea deeper and for the suggestions!

ONLINE "GREEN CARD"

I do like your idea about an online "green card" that could be used to buy green/clean products as well as carbon offsets. We could set it up automatically for each site member when they sign up.

FOCUS ON CARBON EMISSIONS

Measuring carbon emissions seems to be the most commonly accepted way to communicate the issue, rally opinion, and build a new economic/business infrastructure. Hence the name "CarbonTicker," and

However, the site sections:

* Blog
* Forum
* Green/Clean Tech
* Green/Clean Funds & Investment Opportunities
* Green/Clean Products Store

are all devoted to everything you've brought up: Plastics, chemical pollution, landfills, which are all part of the environmental issues and green/clean solutions we are trying to contribute to.

GREEN/CLEAN FUNDS & INVESTING OPPORTUNITIES

What I mean here is to feature green/clean funds and investment opportunities through articles, interviews, third-party ratings etc., possibly with affiliate links, where we'd get a commission.

In "Opportunities" I include start-up or later stage ventures with well-known risk factors that enable people to make sound investment decisions. What I don't know how to handle funding for the idea/conception stage. The personal, legal, and financial ramifications are too ambiguous and could be chaotic. That's where I have a big question mark regarding your "Green Challenge" too.

Hi Steve! I am from Eastern part of Slovakia. So unfortunatelly not speaking any Hungarian. I posted on your project. I really like it. Maybe we can take it further together.

Looking forward to hearing back from you re collaborating on CarbonTicker or other projects.

Which part of Slovakia are you from? I was born and raised in Hungary....

hi checoslovaco!!!

great help, but those trains have tracks.

my idea is to make the taxi idea, limitless.

Hi mate. “Checoslovaco”, this is the way you say “Czechoslovakian” in Spanish. I just thought it will attract both Spanish and Czech and Slovak people to my profile . We are talking about business ideas here, so I thought is important to meet somebody you can actually meet. Not all businesses can be started or accomplished by online collaboration, no?
And many need a lot of local knowledge. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk to the other guys :-) Nice to see you around, never met a Czech-american before.

Hey, Checoslovaco. (I KNOW you speled Czechoslovakia this way on purpose, right? And that you "deserted the Republic" in 93, right? And also that I'm having good fun with you, right?) It was great to see a Slovak in the system. I'm half Czech (American), lived there for 2 years, my son has lived there for 7 or 8. Anyway, I will be "stalking" your posts. I like your comments and your English is better than many native speakers. Unfortunately for the future of english.
