Roman CoinsTheCarbonBlog officially went live on March 1st and, in its first month, managed to earn a total of $3.18 through the Google AdSense program. All other revenue sources added up to $0 which, means that I must do a better job of promoting this site as well as providing quality content.

To that end, I’ve been lucky enough to find another writer to provide some informative articles on carbon and global climate change. Though he has never run his own blog, he is a regular contributor to Helium and has earned a pretty solid readership.

So, as I have little else to report with regards to earnings, I’ll turn the rest of the article to TheCarbonBlog’s newest writer, Johan DeJagr.

Thanks, Jason.

Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Johan DeJagr, and I’m from a small country somewhere deep in the heart of, what’s now, the European Union.  I’m currently living in Ontario, Canada with my many books and newspapers, as I’m just too disgruntled to be tolerated by most people … especially the ladies.

I’ve worked at several companies since the late 70’s that have been working largely with natural resources, and wood in particular.  The amount of waste that I’ve witnessed would be enough to drive most people to drink, while the amount of progress towards more sustainable policies has been slow and torturous.  After 15 years at an international paper company, I turned in the ID card and headed off to early retirement with the goal of spreading a singular message to the world: we need to stop thinking about now, and start thinking about 50 years from now.

I’d rather say “we should think about 100 years from now”, but most big businesses and average people have enough trouble thinking about what they’ll do next month, let alone a century from now.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you, and making the world a better place.

Thank you,

Johan DeJagr
