Today marks the official birthday of The Conscious Earth. When I began this blog on May 25th, 2006 it was done primarily as a way to write on a consistent basis. Choosing to explore the environmental challenges of the modern world as subject matter was a natural, givent that it's always best to write about what you know and love.

One year later, a growing subscriber base of close to 300 and more than 5,000 monthly vistors have chosen to share in this exploration of sustainability and in a hope for a healthier planet. To everyone who has taken the time to stop by, read a post, leave a comment, or link to these pages, I offer you my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for bringing so much success through this first year.

Looking back on the past 12 months, here is a short snapshot of the people who supported the site, as well as the highlights from a busy - and possibly revolutionary - year in environmental awareness.
