How to Put More “Green” in BarterQuest

As most of you are aware, a barter site is inherently “green.” Trading, by definition, involves the redistribution of goods and, therefore, runs counter to our disposable economy. This being said, BarterQuest can and should incorporate features that lend even more support to a user who wants to be environmentally responsible. Current features includes a category that define services that are specifically “Environmental,” sub-categories of services that have environmental implications, such as “car pooling,” and the ability to designate an item as eco-friendly by choosing this as one of its attributes. Other features that are being considered include tagging items as eco-friendly as part of the search function.

We are looking for ideas, whether to add additional categories, to enhance the functionality of our site as a “green” site, or otherwise. Any suggestions?
