Readers, I asked Steven what his blog is about since I was intrigued by the name "green sexy." He said, "Green-Sexy is written by my wife Karin and I. Our mission is to reduce our waste and to search for ways to make this world a cleaner more sustainable place. Writing for this blog has been a life-changing experience for both my wife and I, as it has made us question our practices and habits and has made us more conscious of our impact in this world. We've modified our life for the better and have done everything we can to be more environmentally friendly." Sounds all good to me. Steven, I hope that you come back to visit Green Talk and share with us your experiences. If you post something you think GT's readers would like, let me know! Anna Welcome Steven!

It is an effective learning method and certainly does promote green learning by lowering the consumption of precious resources. Nice blog!

I am so glad you commented. Readers, the purpose of Green Talk is to discuss the concepts that I write about. Let me know your opinion! I share Stefanie's concern as well. What would HR departments think about online degrees? I tried to find out by contacting 3 different companies. Only one replied. Still waiting for the other 2. I like Mitch's advice to chose an online school from a brick and mortar institution. Stefanie, you make a good point about interaction with your professors. I wonder how the online programs provide for discussion? Anyone know? Readers, by the way check out Stefanie's website, http:www.sehutson.com, which is relatively new. It is a mix of internet marketing posts (her day job is a director of marketing for an e-commerce website) and random posts. Stefanie, did I get this right? You are welcome to add. Thanks again for your comments. Hope I will see you around Green Talk again. Anna Stefanie, thank you for your candid comments. I am so glad you commented.

While it may be alright for extremely independent learners, there's no real interactivity to it. You can't stick around after class and have a one-on-one with the professor (in most cases). It's also harder to get group interaction or public speaking experience like you do in many classes. Of course, the biggest problem I see is that most people still don't take online degrees seriously. I've spoken with HR people who say they will "accept them", but all things equal, none of my friends in HR jobs would take the online degree over the "real" degree, accredited or not. I'm not sure if/when that will ever change, but I definitely wouldn't waste my money on one at this point in time. <em>Stefanie's last blog post..<a href='http://www.sehutson.com/getting-relevant-no-no-follow-links-quickly-with-custom-search-engines/' rel="nofollow">Getting Relevant No No-Follow Links Quickly with Custom Search Engines</a></em> As much as I love the idea of more efficient schooling through online learning, I see two major problems with it.
