Today is Go Green Charleston’s 1st birthday!

One year ago today, we launched Go Green with an abundance of energy and enthusiasm towards helping each of us make the Charleston-area a greener place. I want to personally thank each and every one of you for choosing to be a part of this experiment - the site is nothing without you!

Over 16,000 unique individuals have read one or more of our 245 posts, and you’ve left over 400 comments. We’ve received, parsed, and answered hundreds of emails, most of which have been helpful tips, links, stories, and ideas that we have woven into the site - keep ‘em coming! All this participation is what makes this project special - all of us working together to reach a common goal. So again, thank you.

As we move into our second year, we are setting our sights even higher. We will be making more public appearances as we did for the 2008 Earth Day Festival. We will be kicking off a couple of very important community-facing initiatives. We also hope to officially become a nonprofit, allowing us to reach out for grants, volunteers, and donors - we want this project to soar! Thanks for spending a small part of your year with us, and we hope you continue to do so. Please let us know what you think, and we’ll keep trying to provide Charleston with the best online resource for local greenery.

Let’s go green Charleston!
