This is context to the (Lil) Green Patch application on face book which states something like this--
(Lil) Green Patch needs your help to fight Global Warming.
You build a Green Patch with your friends.
The application shows a running count of the square feet of
rainforest saved by everyone as they use the application.
Square feet saved so far, 38M.--- Ashish Dixit and David King
There are more than 4,288,085 members in this application and they keep inviting others and sending patches to each other but people in the end you, yourself is contributing to global warming it consumes your electricity and every time you send a patch to others it takes time to send it as a user wrote on face book----
I do love this application.
There are numerous problems that plague it.
For one... it is too slow.
It takes sometimes a few reload/refresh on the browser just to make it load sometimes.
The received plants do not show all the time...
and will have a blank spot if seen on the profile...
it works even worse when viewing it on the new Face book Redesign.
Some of the major things that need to be worked on is this application:
-Be able to send multiple plants at once.
-Be able to send any gift to anyone...
-This includes the plants that one can buy.
-It needs to be faster.
Guys actually we still need to educate ourselves and others about global warming, how it is increasing and how can we avoid our contribution to it. Well we came up with Batti Band in the month of august or sept... but seriously it didn't help to decrease global warming instead it contributed to it. When we switched off all our lights and electrical equipments for one hour we all were thinking it will save electricity but instead of saving we gave up ample of electrical energy just in the midst of being a part of an event which was not at all organized keeping in mind the basics that our secondary school teachers have been teaching since years, my point is when a refrigerator or an air conditioner is just out of power when they are working normally and after a certain period if it is restarted again it will consume more energy than it did before!!.
so it is necessary to educate ourself about what global warming is and don't be a part of something which we are not really aware of and illiterate...
I even saw a small documentary about global warming which was telecast ed on one of our film awards night all the actors did a good work by educating the mass about global warming but just making statements and participating in any cause related to global warming will not stop their contribution to global warming..
First and foremost i would like to tell everyone reading this that GLOBAL WARMING needs no funds, it needs no big actors, all it needs is the participation of the mass, we need to involve each and every person on this earth, educate him and her about global warming use no paper, no internet, no sms es, no big hoardings, no radio... all this consumes energy why waste energy on a noble cause.. we need to draw pictures, pick up lines on the walls of the street i will consume less of energy and will avoid pollution. It will be in front of every single man, he will understand about global warming and will tell others about it like some one said NOT IN SIGHT SO NOT IN MIND....we need to find new motivational ways to inject the virus of global warming in every citizen of the world. its our responsibility and our duty to take care of the energy that almighty has showered on us. Global warming will never get over by GREEN PATCH etc.. or what ever. PEOPLE WE NEED TO BE SMART AND CONSERVING.
