Well. I got some links up, before the site started giving me issues again. Will try and continue posting later.

 

Hey Bob. If I understand your statement correctly. You are asking how and why I do this. The why, is just to share eco and environment news with the community, to maybe give people new and positive thoughts/ideas on saving the planet, along with what the future can hold.

The how, is just by using a RSS feeder to hold the articles until I sort and post them. I have been doing this for a few years, and this is the first time, the site has started to give me weird errors.
Hope that answers your questions.
