It should give you some idea of how my other New Years’ resolutions are working out when I tell you that I resolved to blog much more frequently in 2013. Like most things, it’s been tough to get out of the existing routine. On the other hand, even though it took me a few weeks to get started, it’s still a start, right? We’ve already left 2012 in the dust and it’s not even February.
So, after a much-too-long hiatus, which I’ll tell you all about in bits and pieces as the days and weeks go by, I’m finally at a point where I’ll have enough free time and fodder to make this blog hum again. I’m looking forward to it. Although I stopped posting for the usual reasons – equal parts busy and lazy – I am resurrecting A Cleaner Green because I’ve spent the better part of the last year doing and seeing some amazing stuff in the environmental community. In particular, I got to see firsthand how grassroots greens are making change happen in Europe.
Yep, I’ve been M.I.A. because I’ve been too busy hanging out on the Continent (with a home base in Germany), talking to members of local communities, pro-environment groups, green/ecological parties, and other stakeholders to see how they are changing the way we think about the world we live in. And now that I’m back in the States, I’m going to do whatever I can to follow their example – highlighting both the good and the bad, and casting a critical eye on some putative allies who are far more likely to be an impediment to the green cause than a force for good.
It’s good to be back, and I’ve got a suitcase full of Haribo to keep me going. Happy Friday to all – have a great weekend!
