DMMike - 4/21/2010 11:37:59 AM    Good question. We don't expect anyone to be able to achieve all the points, so you will only get these points if you buy a surfboard with these properties. Some of the actions you can earn for not doing, like littering your cigarettes on the beach, if you don't smoke...it can be a little unclear sometimes... hbomb7 - 4/21/2010 7:15:51 PM   You must have an account to make a comment (it's free!)

If your lack of productivity (or physical destruction) from cutting back on coffee outweighs the benefits, then maybe you should INCREASE your coffee consumption to be more green!" hbomb7 on 4/21/2010 about the action Cut back on how much coffee you drink, or stop all together   Subscribe to RSS headline updates from:
