Fight Climate Change

3 Comments January 29, 2007 / Posted in Web Stuff

Having spent almost 12 years working in a laboratory, occasionally I do get the urge to leave the web stuff behind and revisit a career in science. It doesn’t last long (it usually vanishes after a bout of stat checking), but with current environmental issues my interest in science things has increased and made me want to do something along those lines web wise, and so I ended up picking up Fight Climate Change a couple of weeks ago.

At the moment it’s early days with a few blog posts (news, reviews, links etc) wplus an amazon astore (which was very easy to set up) – how it’ll grow I don’t know, but there’s plenty of material around – and a lot of mixed messages to decipher. Monetising the site may not be that easy, especially as there seems to be very very few affiliate programs capitalising on recycling, going green, and energy saving.

If you have any ideas for the site, or have an affiliate program that could fit in with the site – drop me a line!

    Hello Jason,

    (I’ve been lurking in your blog for a while now and we’ve actually exchanged dialogue over in a4u about a house lottery site that a friend was involved in before Christmas)

    Read this post with interest because it’s something I’m a bit interested in and I’ve toyed with the idea of doing a “green” site myself. Hope it works out for you. I’ve subscribed to the feed.

    In terms of merchants to affiliate with there’s envirophone on webgains and I noticed that B&Q are trying to flog wind turbines and solar panels. Though I can’t see too many affiliates earning commission for an online sale of personal wind turbine! Adsense maybe??

    Cheers

    John

    Hey Jason

    Just in case you wanted to put a couple of fun products on your new climate change site there are a couple of eco-gadgets on firebox you could look at.

    Solio Charger-charges your ipod from the sun
    Sun Jar- a light that solar charges
    Global warming mug- ok, so its not going to save the planet, but it is at least a bit more thought provoking than your average beverage holder.

    Ok, plug over.
    I think you could do well listing places to buy really simple products that if everyone used would make a difference. Granted, personal wind turbines aren’t going to sell well, but I reckon everyone needs a water butt if they have a garden and compost bins are fantastic (can’t believe I just said that! But seriously, get composting). Maybe B&Q is the way forward.

    And if you list the full lyrics to Captain Planet I would be iternally grateful. Something about pollution and zero? Hmmm

    Hi Jason,

    I spotted that flysilverjet.com (available on awin) are claiming to be the first carbon neutral airline.

    Check their homepage for the full lowdown.

    Cheers
