3. Hello, I am a new comer to the Eco-gen. Can somebody tell me how can I get familiar with this site?
- Hi, new-bee!! ^^ Welcome to the Eco-generation. From my experience, 'Fun-land' is the best starting point. When I became a member of Eco-gen roughly 5years ago, I had very little knowledge about environment issues. While I was playing all different games at 'Fun-land', I got to know many facts about environment and its related issues. 'Fun-land' games are not demanding but very educational. Once you get charged with eco-knowledge, next step I would suggest to you is writing comments on the articles. When you see someone answer your comment or quote it, you feel like now you are being a true member of a community. I hope my answer makes you a bit relaxed. Again, welcome aboard! ^^
