Free Green Response

FreeGreen.com is something I am mostly encouraged by. It appeals to me because I like to play games like The Sims, wherein I create homes and inevitably plan the spaces according to livability. If the game also offered energy efficient items or buildings, I am sure I would use them. In fact, in Sim City Societies, you can create a green city. The empowerment of individuals' creativity in city and home building has been aided by the digital age. Given this, I will venture to say that Free Green is just an extension of this growing area.

So, how does Free Green work? And, most importantly, how is it free? They are lucid on this point: "FreeGreen would not exist without paid placement from product manufacturers." This is a sensible solution, and I have heard about bloggers getting paid for having advertisements on their page. We are in the information age*, characterized by low-cost, rapid and free information. Free Green is unquestionably a product of our time.

*I am more skeptical about this age, but I will reserve that topic for my Haptic Arts blog.
