fourth of july picnicWhile July 2008 looked relatively normal in terms of Fourth of July celebrations and hot weather, $4 per gallon gas put a damper on that other summertime staple: the family road trip.

As you might imagine, we had a lot to say about that gas thing… but didn’t take a vacation from covering a wide range of topics.

The Twelve Days of sustainablog: Dumpster Diving, Online Shopping and Hand Towels

philadelphia leprechaunWith several new GO blogs launching in March, a few of sustainablog’s regulars moved on to other posting assignments. We were fortunate that a number of friends, such as the folks at Life Goggles, Environmental Defense Fund, and Eco-Libris, did admirable jobs in filling the gap.  Additionally, we were pleased to republish several posts from the University of Kansas’ “Media and the Environment” course blog.

The original content we did publish was great stuff, of course.  Take a look below, and see a few of the goodies from March (and not a single post on green beer!).

Here at sustainablog, we were keeping an eye on broad developments related to sustainability (as always).  From business to religion to the presidential primary season, we found many great stories to share… here are a few of them.

The Twelve Days of sustainablog: Bees, Stimulus Checks, and Biodynamic Wine

fireworks off Waikiki Beach, Hawaii2008 was a banner year for sustainablog, and we want to end it as strongly as we started.  So, for the next twelve days, I’ll take a look back at some of the best and most memorable posts from the past year.

Let me start off, though, by expressing my immense gratitude to all of the writers who contributed during 2008. This was our first full year as a multi-author blog, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the way it turned out. Some of the writers I’ll mention have moved on; others on coming on board. I’m grateful for the inspiration you’ve all brought to the blog over the past year, and look forward with anticipation to what the new year brings us.
