You can help stop corruption; this is how>


Many people today, would like to make a difference, but it seems impossible to do so, because there are so many industries that do horrible things to our planet and the beings living in it, that the average person does not have the time to find all the industries causing this corruption.

Today, there are tons of websites that will inform the public of some issue or another, but these websites will usually focus on one issue at a time, and get into great detail on that particular issue. So, the reader will only have the time to read about one company causing one problem.

What I want to do, is create a website that in list format displays every company that is damaging the world in some way, and in what way their damaging it.

First, there will be lists of the type of corruption, such as;

Companies supporting child labor
Food brands using animal bi products
Food brands using harmful chemicals
Food companies growing their crops in torn down rain forests
Companies supporting animal testing (ie: for cosmetics)

Then, each category will link to a new page where there will list the specific companies that take part in each act.

Example: Companies supporting child labor > Nike

Then, next to each company we need to list one or two trusted sources so that a skeptical reader can do further research on the issue.

How can you help? Well, I’m currently looking for team members to help put this project together. There’s no way I can do this alone, and this shouldn’t be done alone. I’m looking for someone who is an expert in html and css, I’m looking for people with knowledge on current global corruption, and anyone else who thinks they can make a contribution to this website.

If you want to help, you can simply make a post saying so here. Or, if you’d prefer, private message me. You can also send me a personal email at Cream-Soda--@hotmail.com . Make sure to post your email address in the request so I have an easy way to contact everyone.

Please don’t feel shy im looking for all the help I can get!

While I think that is an admirable endeavor, I would really recommend that you consult an attorney before going to far. If you can't absolutely prove any statements made on your website, you can get sued for libel or defamation of character or even more. Claiming proof from a source that you do not control (i.e. other websites or trusted sources) does not protect you if that other source gets it wrong - you're still liable for what you place on the site.

I very much agree, thats why the source needs to be not only trusted but legally certified. For the most part I think I will making more references to books and magazines rather than other websites.

... Of course the books could get it wrong as well, I suppose I will need some sort of disclaimer.

Not only that but you should talk to an attorney who is versed in internet laws, and the application of international law because you may be dealing with accusations of slander from various places.

Whilst I think that this is a wonderful endeavour, admirable, I would be very worried about covering my back.

This sounds like a great idea for a website Grape, and I wish I could be of some help.

Regardless, I do hope that you will keep us up to date on what you decide to do, and hopefully this site goes well.

To be perfectly honest, this is the best idea I have heard in a long time.

It sounds like a great idea for a website. I have a degree in computer programming and know a little about web design. I would love to help. It seems that educating people is only half the battle. Getting people to care is the other half. I know many people that know about the problems and just don't want to make a change to do anything about it. Worse, some people criticize those of us who do care.

Checking the legal issues before doing something like this is a great idea as others have noted. I would also edit our your original post for your example line as that is just putting that company name out there w/o backing, on your own website or others without proof it could be bad for you.
