Happy 4th Birthday, Green Philly Blog!

Hey Green Philly Fans,

We’re eating a piece of (vegetarian, local) cake today to celebrate our 4th birthday! Starting as an online publication to help you be green as you can be,  our number one goal remains to help our readers, old and new.

We have some good stuff in the works and can’t wait to share them for you! Here’s some highlights of what’s been live:

  • Over the past year, we’ve updated our website design in collaboration with design concept from the talented Michele Spotts!
  • Competing in the Philly Hot List for Best Local Blogger – so please vote for us!
  • Hosting and participating in the Philly Spring Cleanup.
  • Taking training like Philadelphia Water Department’s five-week course on their “Green Cities, Clean Waters” campaign.

As always, we love hearing your feedback (good and bad) about site content and what sustainability questions you have.  Not sure where to recycle something? Let us know by email, in comments or Facebook so we can address it in our “Where Can I Wednesday” column. Keep sending your green tips, news and comments to us.

Thanks for reading and here’s to making Green Philly Blog even better.

Cheers,

Julie & Beth
