Default Problems with Racial traits

I'm trying to add a racial trait for a kind of "Enviromentalist/Recycler" race to my mod, and I've hit a snag.

The premise is a race that is environmentally cautious, and utilizes every resorce to it's fullest capacity, thus reducing the resources needed to run the society, etc.

How would I go about adding a thing like this, or can I?

This recent trend of posting the same question on every forum makes it really difficult to track discussions spanning multiple domains...

So people should avoid using all the information resources they have available to them, so as to not inconvenience you?

No, they should link everything to one common thread.

Otherwise you're going to waste people's time giving answers that have already been given.
Its like asking someone on the street for directions, and then quietly asking a couple other people in the area the same question while the first guy is getting out a map.

No rude comment for SJ's "inconvenience?"

No, because he added a constructive suggestion for dealing with the supposed "problem", rather than just indulging in self-absorbed whining.

Not that I agree with the suggestion, mind you. If somebody asked a question, but wanted all replies posted to another thread on some other site that I don't normally read, I probably wouldn't bother answering.

When I have a question that I could post in multiple forums, I post it in the one I think most likely to produce a useful reply, then wait a week or so for an answer before trying again on the next most likely site.

Self-absorbed whining? What? Wasting people's time giving answers that have already been given affects everyone. Posting a link to the other thread where the answer has been posted seems like a solution to me...

I've been under a tremendous amount of stress for the past few months. I'm just fed up with people disappointing me, no matter how low I set my expectations of them.

Fyron, I apologize for taking that out on you, because that isn't what you did.

Which is a perfectly valid option too.
In the street corner example, you'd wait until the first guy says "Hmm... I dunno" before asking someone else.

(As opposed to asking the second and third guys to help find it on the first guy's map)
