I think this section is important for those who don't drive and must take mass transit. I feel you need to frame this section that way--ask if mass transit is taken due to no car or is it just for mon-fri commuting which is prevalent in the NYC area. You could also ask at the outset do you take more than 10 trips per week-or 5 round trips?. Make it relavent from the start. Not--bus patterns? What are bus patterns?
Just curious. If I donate through another site, will I get a code to add to my profile? For example, I have a credit card that has a reward system and one of the rewards is I can use my points to make a donation to brighter planet. I'm not sure what happens after or if I get a notification from brighter planet so that I can add it on my profile.
"destination airport" drop down not quite working. My flight was domestic but the menu includes only Int'l airports---? And they are oddly spaced and not in alpha order...?
Your MJ tribute video reminded me I have two pet cats (each of whom contribute 1100 pounds of CO2 [allegedly]). Pets should be included in the carbon footprint count--what kind, how big, whether indoor/outdoor, organic/non-organic food, etc.
For some reason, my credit card transaction didn't go through when I was trying to buy some offsets - I'm sure it is a temporary glitch and the plumber is on his way already...
I wish I could share this on Facebook! This is an inspirational story, and the sort of thing that I think my non-environmentally friendly friends might be convinced by. Is there a way to share it?
When it asks how much of your diet is local and how much is conventional, you should be able to see percentage numbers as you scroll across so that a more accurate number can be counted, instead of just guessing.
In the spirit of not complaining too much during beta testing, I'd just like to say that I'm happy to be a Brighter Planet customer. I signed up the second I heard about it and I'm thrilled with all the strides you've made, including this re-vamped website. It's going to be fantastic!
How about sticking the "I DID THIS" button right underneath the image? If the description of the tip is long, I won't even see it, and I might not realize that I can click anything.
The site shows my consumables make up 15.84 tons CO2, yet food (which accounts for a little less than 2 tons) is the only consumable that appears. Is BP making a conjecture about my consumables (similar to shared services)? If so, a footnote to this effect should appear because I have no idea where the other 14 tons are coming from.
Have you added car-sharing as an option to your website? People who car-share drive 50% less, and when they do drive, they are maximizing the use of a car (more resources)! Reduce driving, reduce consumption, have fun and save more!
