Okay, so this one will be quick and basic. Obviously a lot of us are concerned that nothing good is coming of the moon's projects, but I think we're trying to run before we can walk.
I Propose:
1) We pick a date (Tentatively Saturday July 24-ish)
2) We pick one activity or thing that helps the world or other people. The tribe has spoken!!! The activity is to make a charitable donation, perhaps to goodwill!
3) On this day, as many of us as possible go out and make a quick video documenting us doing said deed.
4) We then all post our videos in THIS THREAD the next day, and then a compilation video will be made about it. (That video will then be posted on the moon's YouTube channel.)
Hence the title, 'Warm Fuzzies'. It's simple, and it's a noble cause moreless.
Let me know what you think. If you're down, what should we do for the activity? (Something simple, that is feasible for just about anyone to do)
I'll do my best to keep this project from lagging, provided we get enough people who are willing to participate. Just to throw it out there, let's say a minimum of 5 people for sure.
THE SUPER OFFICIAL AWESOME IDEA TALLY
1) Make a donation to goodwill / charity.
2) Go through a drivethrough, and pay for the person behind you.
3) Tell a cashier what an awesome job they are doing and that you appreciate it.
4) Go for an hour long walk or so, and see how many strangers you can randomly compliment.
5) Go out and buy a bag of GOOD groceries (High quality coffee, whole grain pasta, etc. And donate it to the food bank or a shelter)
6) Clean up litter in your neighborhood...Or wherever.

This is a pretty cool idea, Rob. Holy crap. Provided I can actually do what's decided upon, I'll participate.
Maybe we could simply donate something to goodwill/etc.? Eh?
Oh, also, did you watch the POGOTOK? I spent a good bit clarifying what is meant by a Noble Cause.

Sorry Real, I've honestly never even looked in any of the Pogotok section. I should get on that!
BTW that's an awesome idea. Put that one on the list.

Put the list of ideas in your first post, Rob.
Oh, and add "Tell a cashier that you appreciate what they do." to the list.

How about.. Helping a tourist? I always see people who are lost, and I don't really ever take time to stop and help them out. Might not be general enough, but I'd be willing to try that |

But it might not be that easy for all of us to just go out and find a tourist. (My town is HARDLY a tourist trap.) |

I'm a big fan of 1, 3, and 4. Not so much 2...I don't have the money to throw around. But it's still a good idea if you can do that! =D
I'm totally getting in on this. I haven't been active on the moon besides a few posts every now and then, but it's about time I actually...you know...did something. xD

i love it.. do you know how miserable being a cashier is.. if people started saying things like "seriously you do a great job here", "you truly know how to bag groceries" or something like " you did a great job". i might enjoy my job more...
seriously i love when people appreciate what i am doing for 8 hours every day. i cant stand people who stand there in silence and stare me down.
seriously i would love to go to a walmart or something and thank every single person in a dark blue shirt. it would be awesome...
even though as a warning.. walmart does not allow cameras in there store... so i would go to a small grocery store or something...
do i write to much???

Sweet. Well let's squeeze in as many more 'activity' ideas as we can before the end of the day, and then we'll put it to a vote.
Also, how does Saturday July 24 (Or that weekend in general) work for everyone as a general date to go out and shoot our respective videos?

Also, how does Saturday July 24 (Or that weekend in general) work for everyone as a general date to go out and shoot our respective videos? SHOULD be okay. If it suddenly isn't, I'll say something. Also, do we want to compile clips and put them together? If so, that video should go up on thepogotribe channel. |

Yeah, I'd probably edit the whole video myself once everyone's clips are posted, what with nice music and all. (Oh, and FYI - I still need login credentials so I can post the video when it's done.)
Edit: Real, any chance you could move this thread from 'project ideas' to 'projects' since we're actually starting to get this underway?

This sounds like a great idea. I like 1 and 3 the most, which seem like things that pretty much anyone can do.
How about we pick some garbage off the street?
