Happy Halloween &#8212; hope you (and the kids, if you&#8217;ve got &#8217;em) are enjoying yourself&#8230; maybe with some Fair Trade chocolate&#8230;;-)<\/p>\n<p>My unplanned hiatus over the last month stemmed from some monumental efforts by all of us at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenoptions.com\">Green Options<\/a> to get some developments in place for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenfestivals.org\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=626&amp;Itemid=281\">San Francisco Green Fest<\/a> on November 9-11. We&#8217;ve got some big plans, and, if you&#8217;re in the Bay Area during the Green Fest weekend, come by our booth and see where we&#8217;re going&#8230; we feel pretty certain that our days of being labeled a &#8220;Treehugger clone&#8221; (and, hey, there are certainly much worse ways to be perceived) are numbered.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll be seeing some changes here in the near future, also.  While the <a href=\"http:\/\/sustainablog.blogspot.com\/2007\/09\/sustainablog-joins-vida-verde.html\">Vida Verde<\/a> collective didn&#8217;t go quite as well as we hoped (it was a busy month for all of us), I&#8217;m going to be back here much more regularly in the very near future. I love my work at GO, but, as I was saying to David today, I do miss being a blogger&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ll come back by&#8230; I&#8217;ll start giving you reasons to do so again.
