Terranova is the Earth2 usergroup personified. We encourage thinking and noding about the environment, humans, and how the two can get along. It's truly amazing how wide a scope this covers. Earth2 encompasses everything from growing your own food to building energy efficient cars, the economics of peak oil to the benefits of vegetarianism. Whether you're criticizing Blackle or glorifying redwoods, we want you to node it.
If you would like to join this group, /msg Tem42. /msg Terranova with corrections and additions to Terranova's write ups.
