Along with most of the computer literate youth of the world I am a Facebook addict. Yes, the constant checking to see if anyone has written on my wall or sent me a message, the excitement of a new friend request, and all the ridiculous applications. Except I hate most of the applications they have now. You go to your friends profile to write on their wall or just take a look at it and you have to scroll through countless boxes of junk.
As more are created (and I spend more time wasting hours on Facebook) I've started to find some that actually are interesting. One I stumbled across today is Greenbook. It is an application dedicated to reducing CO2 emissions by taking money from sponsorships of the application and offsetting the carbon footprint created from the server and computer use generated by Facebook. The idea is that the more users of the application the more sponsors will put in to it thus providing more money to offset the carbon footprint.
On the homepage for the application you can also read tips on being green and comment back on them with your own ideas. And for those of you who care about an aesthetically pleasing profile you can send trees. A little green space to your computer screen never hurt anyone!
