Hi there!

I love your blog! I've been doing a lot of webcrawling in the green/organic sphere lately and you delve into ideas I haven't seen anywhere else. Thanks so much for posting the spattering of information you do!

I was thinking you might be interested in posting to my website www.AltGlobe.com. We're a pretty new alternative and green networking site and you would be a fantastic addition to the community.

Please check us out and let me know what you think.

All the best,
Lindsay Meyer-Harley
