I sent this note to the editorial staff of reuters.com because considering the importance of  evironmental issues they should be on the front page of any credible news resource.

To Interested Parties,

I have been using the environmental section of your website to keep up on issues that are important to me. I can’t seem to find it any more. Have you relocated the section or eliminated it.

I liked coming to the Reuters.com home page scanning the news and then linking to the environment page by clicking on news in the left hand column and then clicking on environment. This allowed me to scan the head lines of the the day and then go on to my topic of interest.

I understand that you have to make business decisions when reviewing the content on your site. I am a business person that understands if you are not getting enough impressions you are not serving you advertisers. But as a news organization it is also your responsibility to publish on the important topics in our society. I contend that in the long run environmental/green issues will be the news that will be of the highest priority. We are faced with global warming and scarcity of resources issues that are only going to expand.

I suggest that if you are going to make any decisions about moving the environment link that you give it more prominence. It was buried before and now it seems to be non existent. I would also suggest that the title of environment is too narrow. Green living and sustainable could be added to environment to attract an audience.

In the end, this topic deserves more coverage not less. It is the socially responsible thing to do. It also is a wise business decision because we are all going to feel the impact of these issues. We need credible resources for news on these topics. I am going to publish this letter in my blog today at http://learnshareact.com/learnshareact/2009/05/09/letter-to-reuterscom/. If you give any response and I have your permission I would also be glad to publish your response.

Welcome to Learn Share Act!

This is your blog’s first post, where you can share your ideas for a better future, things that drive you crazy or anything else you happen to have on your mind.

Your blog will be your collection of posts on topics of your choosing. A post is kind of like an article, so you want to have separate posts for different ideas. A post might be a few sentences or quite lengthy – it’s your choice. Lots of people like to write a new post several times a week and we hope you will too.

Time Saving Tip: While you can create more than one blog if you are going to write tons of posts in separate subject areas, it is far easier to manage a single blog with posts sorted into categories.

What to write in your first posts? How about a “Top 10″ list of the people you would like to thank for the impact they had in your life? Or maybe share what are you doing for your personal growth. Or what is something you enjoy that you might want to share with others? You get the idea. Write a new post for each of your ideas
