At the same time, though, the number of posts you&#8217;ll be seeing here will soon start increasing, as I&#8217;ve accepted an invitation from fellow green web publisher Chris Baskind to join the new Vida Verde publishing collective.<\/p>\n<p>Chris has pulled together a small group of top-notch green bloggers that will share our work with each other.  Each week, we all submit an unpublished post, and we&#8217;re all then free to publish any of those posts on our blogs.  I&#8217;m really honored to be included in such distinguished company; the other bloggers in Vida Verde are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maria Surma Manka, <a href=\"http:\/\/mariaenergia.blogspot.com\/\">Maria Energia<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Shane Jordan, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blog.thesietch.org\/\">The Sietch<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Colin Beavan, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noimpactman.typepad.com\/\">No Impact Man<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Bentley Christie, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecosherpa.com\/\">EcoSherpa<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Kevin Bedell, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.21st-century-citizen.com\/\">21st Century Citizen<\/a><\/li>\n<li>And, of course, Chris and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighterfootstep.com\/\">Lighter Footstep<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s great to be working with such a talented group of bloggers (and friends&#8230; we all know each other pretty well, in the online sense). While I&#8217;ve struggled with the idea of bringing other voices onto sustainablog regularly, I jumped at the chance to feature work from this group.  While none of us will publish every post from everyone else each week, I&#8217;m looking forward to sharing their thoughts with you.<\/p>\n<p>While this will change the nature of sustainablog a bit, I&#8217;m not planning to let these folks do all the work (or have all the fun) &#8212; I&#8217;ll definitely still have plenty to say!<\/p>\n<p>Categories: <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/vidaverde\" rel=\"tag\">vidaverde<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/publishing\" rel=\"tag\">publishing<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/green\" rel=\"tag\">green<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/blogs\" rel=\"tag\">blogs<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/jmcstras\/sustainablog\" rel=\"tag\">sustainablog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things have slowed down a bit here again as we ramp up for some changes and expansion at Green Options.
