Your Neighbor Wasting Energy?Report them w/ EcoSnoop

http://www.takepart.com/news/2009/12/29/is-your-neighbor-wasting-energy-there...
Listen up, all you eco-warriors: Your days of griping in vain about neighborhood energy waste may be coming to an end. Finally, there's a tool that we normal folks can use to report environmentally negligent behavior. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to EcoSnoop.

The EcoSnoop app lets individuals report on wastage of water, energy, trash or toxic pollutants. You can view cases filed near you via GPS and add documentation using photos and commentary. You can create your own complaints if, for example, your grocery store is leaving the parking lot lights on during the day or your neighbor is dumping oil down the drain.

It's an interesting idea. Some reports say as much as 30 percent of total electricity is wasted, and certainly we have all witnessed examples of this in our own communities. Crowdsourcing may be one of the best tactics for identifying such waste, but it's not clear how these complaints will ever make their way to the property owners responsible.

Hey, all you remarkably intelligent individuals who use "eco" whatever name-calling to show your true knowledge of environmental issues...where do you think electricity comes from, God?? Where do you think the poisons we dump into nature go? Next time your community has a "boil water" order, don't boil the water - just drink.

you eco fascists are being fed in the line of fire to protect your fake gods

[Houshalter]

This is weird (maybe even wrong), but its totally legal and I fail to see how it relates to a fictional organization.

"I am not against emitting carbon dioxide."

Well thats your opinion, but that doesn't make it any safer.

This is disgusting, you people who love this are a bunch of neurotic, control-freak weirdos. CO2 tax is a scam you poor, deluded fools.
