Stuck in a few changes to the stats page today. The default map now shows a street next to Rockerfeller center, which is slightly improved over the previous picture of my cousin’s neighborhood. That pic was nice but it didn’t offer much in the sense of scale.
This new picture has alot of details like cars and people so it offers a better sense of how big that “total amount of rainforest” square is.
Below the map are a few timescales so you can see how the square looked a week ago and a month ago.
Clicking through to see how it looked in the past really illustrates how far we’ve come in a relatively short time. A few weeks ago, the site did not exist. It wasn’t even an idea. As I write this, people from as far away as Korea and India have answered trivia questions to help set aside rainforest one square foot at a time.
Sketchy guy N.
Looks like the link from Treehugger has really inspired some usage for your site. It’s a great idea, and I wish you lots of luck with it! I’ll be back to play some more trivia soon!
