So here’s a little something that I’m really happy to announce, the public launch of Eco-Safe.com. My man Jason Schultz pulled me in on this project to help him develop out a really hot system we could pioneer off of the concept to bring environmental responsibility to the web. This project on like everything I work on with him has sofar been a hit, and it’s a real treat to see such a great success in just a few days of going live. Tim did an amazing job on the widget and the site was designed by Dave. Always a honor to work with these guys.

The site has gone through many revisions and we decided that the best way to rock this idea is wide-open and free. Anyone can jump on the site, grab the code to install the Merit Badge on their site (like you may have seen on the sidebar here), and you have sustainable options. You can Email the page to yourself, Send yourself a PDF of the page, or download the page as a PDF. Nice and simple, and doesn’t cost you the price of paper and ink. Give it a try below, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised how we managed to make it easier then printing to a PDF.

As of right now over 22K Merit Badges have been served up and in just a day and half over 200 people have chosen the Eco-Safe method of print 2.0 as I like to call it. Today a few big websites asked about installing the badge on their home. It’s taken off in the blogosphere as well, quite a few people have already put it on their blogs.. and thats just a couple.

I’ve also built a pretty extensive backend system for it that will soon offer a user to login, claim their domain, and show stats and reporting about which pages their users value enough to print 2.0 the pages. We figured this offers something you can’t even get with Google Analytics, and should be a big hit.

If you value things like this, I encourage you to install this badge on your site and embrace the fact that we need to all do what we can to protect the world we’re so badly abusing. I’m glad to say I was a part of this project, and looking forward to a lot more awesome ways of pushing the web to work for us in a new and unique way. Spread the word.
