I’d still think starting a more open topic, like How can we… would lead to a committed conversation that will not be impeded by concerns that this platform is not about volunteering. I see you’re concerned this might be too general, but we can easily spawn more concrete ideas out of a general conversation.
I really don’t think I did, so I’ll try to phrase my argument again: We shouldn’t make environmental awareness central to member distinction. But we also shouldn’t make it a secondary distinction, because then it will appear equivalent to other secondary qualities, like being a good cook etc… and that’s distortive. That’s why I think we should look for other ways, entirely apart from individual distinction, how to promote it.
About these badges: you can see all of them here. That’s this forum’s badges and they are not related to any badges that could be part of the hospitality platform we are building (https://app.couchers.org). If the distinction between the hospitality platform (in development) and this community forum is unclear, or you have ideas how we could explain it better, please post your concern or thoughts in the forum feedback topic: How do you like the forum?
