Similar to purchasing Green Tags, these Facebook Groups are not the solution, but they have a positive overall effect on the environment, whether through their direct actions or simply by spreading the right attitude. They are time better spent than joining groups such as "I tried to ford the river but my f&%!@ oxen died"... I added this post my companies blog (http://sincerealyyours.wordpress.com/), thanks for the info. Great post.

You are correct. Just planting trees is not the solution. But it's one piece of the puzzle. There are a lot of applications and groups on Facebook that promises to do a lot of good things. I think I've found the ones that actually delivers. If you believe any group or application is not doing what it promises please let me know. Tom, thanks for your comment. You are correct.

Not that planting trees is a bad thing, but many of the groups listed in the article deliver questionable results - is it really more than a little feel-good action, or is it something that will have a demonstrable effect. It's part of the social network phenomenon - it's so easy to click and join, and it's also so easy for a little misinformation to go a long way.
