People will listen when they're ready to listen and not before. Probably, once upon a time, you weren't ready to listen to an idea than now seems to you obvious, even urgent. Let people come to it in their own time. Nagging or bullying will only alienate them. Don't preach. Don't waste time with people who want to argue. They'll keep you immobilized forever. Look for people who are already open to something new.

Dirty Greek - Blogging 12 Hours Straight For The Nature Conservancy
  Environment : Blogging 12 Hours Straight For The Nature Conservancy
You are NOT on the DirtyGreek.Org homepage. Please CLICK HERE to go there.

I'll be joining Shea, Jeff at Sustainablog, and others for the Green Blogathon. My charity of choice will be The Nature Conservancy. This whole event will happen the weekend of Friday, February 24.

If you will be joining us, please take note of the following:

• Choose a 12, 18, or 24 hour shift. You need to post twice an hour on average to qualify for the Green Blogathon merit badge.

• Pick a non-profit that you will be raising money for.

• Make a post on your blog, and tell everyone you know that you’re taking part in the Blogathon. Your readers can make a pledge- a penny, dime, dollar, or Benjamin for every post you make. If you're going for 12 hours, they make pledges on 24 posts, 24 hours garners you 48 posts to pledge on.

• If you can’t start on Friday, you can pick us up on Saturday. I’ll be starting up at 7am EST on Saturday and rolling through the 7pm EST Saturday night, so you’ll have company.

• You’ll need to arrange the logistics of your donors transfering the money to your non-profit of choice after the Blogathon. It might be a good idea to have them give it directly to the non-profit to cut down on things like PayPal fees, but, I leave that up to you.

• Please comment here to comfirm your participation, even if you have previously emailed Shea. Leave a link to your site and let him know how long a shift you are going to take and what time you’ll be starting. He’ll also want to know the non-profit you’ll be blogging for.

UPDATE: It unfortunately appears that my parents will be in town that weekend. If they aren't, I'll be blogging. If they are, I won't be able to participate :(
