Okay my fellow environmentalist, here's the deal:

Your site is very wordy and busy, and that can be detrimental. The background was distracting, and you may be losing some viewers from that and your eclectic layout.

Also, it is very news-oriented with no real personality screaming out at the reader. Nothing shouts, "Hey! I'm different than other writers!" and we're all battling for individualism in this world, right?

On the plus side, your issues are not exactly the same old deal and were very different and interesting. Like I said before, a little wordy, but sometimes wordy is good.

Seven points for a nicely written blog, although the layout, visual appeal, and voice were lacking.

Great blog!

Good general blog about environmental issues with a focus on current news. Sorted by topic like Global Warming. Nice commentary on issues. A little cluttered with ads. A good read. Nice use of multimedia. Regularly updated.
