The website that I had picked for this blog is StopGlobalWarming.org. I picked a pretty well known and explored topic of global warming because there is such a strong divergence that separates both sides of the issues. There are people who believe in it and really want to do all they can to help save the enviornment, and then their are those who choose to ignore it. Before I get to the website and how it relates to Activity 3, my stance is that pollution isn't a good thing. Greed and corrupt business practices are the reason why we don't have eletric cars, and Obama 08.' (Somewhat serious in that last statement)
The first thing I really like about this website and why I think it suits audiences that would be looking into an organization like this is they have a button that if you click it, that means you are suppotive of stopping global warming. I couldn't help feel proud of my efforts to stop global warming with the click of a button, but being number 1,240,936th person to click that button is a cool way to see how many people really care about this issue.
The second thing I like about this website is how simple it is. Its layout isn't complex, or really too interesting to look at, but less is more in this situation. The site is really easy to navigate and they have tips on how you can cut back on the size of your enviornmental foot print.
The third but most important thing, which I think is the most valuable part of this site, is that you can see actual personal accounts by members and the people that run the site. These personal accounts personalize the site, making the movement much more appealing than just a couple of facts.
