Hello Green Groovers! If you've recently received an update e-mail, checked your progress, or you've just started a new plan, you may have noticed a little green "talk bubble" icon. Those icons just arrived this week, and what they signify is a link to the Green Groove Unite blog, where we have a section devoted to Goals. There is a blog post for every goal on Green Groove, regardless of the plan you sign up for.

For example, if you started a plan and you selected the goal "Signup A Friend To Not Receive Junk Mail (www.dmachoice.org)" but you're not sure what that goal really entails or why it would make things more green. Well, click that little green link on your plan and you'll be taken to that goal's corresponding blog post! You'll see a short description of that goal, and the reason why this is a green goal. Once you've completed the goal, you can comment to the post and say how it went! If you've got other questions about the goal, you can also post those to the blog post. Click here to see the blog post for that goal, and see how people have already started commenting about their success.

Another handy thing about this new feature is if you're starting a new Green Groove plan, and are unsure about how the goals get harder with each new Difficulty Level. Now you can search through the Goal posts and see how the goals get more difficult, and see which ones will fit you best for the plan you wish to start. Doing a bit of research is always a great idea when you're starting something new, especially something as important as making a green pact with yourself. The more feedback you leave, the better it will be for the next person.
