Just learned of Parley.io and submitted this post on Parley to see how it works. I like the idea of a Reddit competitor with earnings based upon conversation but not quite sure if this method is legit though... posting a link to others content to encourage upvotes and earnings! ??? 😟 Thoughts anyone?

Beep! Beep! This humvee will be patrolling by and assisting new veterans, retirees, and military members here on Steem. @shadow3scalpel will help by upvoting posts from a list of members maintained by @chairborne and responding to any questions replied to this comment.

Not sure if I posted this right. From my Steemit blog page, clicking on this story only takes you to a snapshot of the page, not the article.

Hey, thanks for posting. I do see that the link on Parley seems to not be working for this post. It looks like the post was edited using Steemit which is known to overwrite 3rd party apps metadata which might have caused it to stop working. I'll continue to investigate and see what can be done to fix it.

Thanks but actually, it was a facebook link that I edited out the fb portion of the URL link.

Since Boracay is shutting down for a major clean up, I'm guessing most - if not all tourists would either cancel or change their travel destination and Cebu is definitely one of those major destinations.

Once the word gets out that other resort destinations (like Palawan) might close or restrict numbers of tourists, many international visitors just might decide to go elsewhere like Thailand or Vietnam.

I just read an article on Zerohedge recently that said there is metric tons of plastic on the northern Polar cap oceans in areas that should not have any trash at all. The article also stated that fish and sea birds are all now part plastic because of this pollution. That even young fish and birds can be found with a large percentage of plastic in their stomachs.

The Earth is getting nasty for sure! You'd think with our "worldly" education, we would have had this all figured out by now!

Exactly! This is getting scary and sad at the same time. However even with the right technology, if people are not disciplined enough to manage their trash, its not going to get us any further.

Without education and strict compliance and law enforcment, it will only get worse.
