TreeHugger Picks: What We're Thankful For
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 11.22.06
For TreeHuggers in the US, Thanksgiving is just a day a way, so we'll take time to pause and reflect on some of the things that TreeHugger is thankful for this year.
1) From the trailer to the theater to the DVD, we're thankful for everything Al Gore and An Inconvenient Truth did to help bring global warming to mainstream consciousness.
2) We're thankful for Tesla Motors, who've shown that electric cars can be hot and fast and eventually affordable.
3) That's right: TreeHugger is thankful for Wal-Mart. We know they aren't perfect, but from selling 100 million compact fluorescent bulbs to offering organic food and sustainble fish to a huge new market, the giant retailer is making some big steps in a greener direction.
4) We're thankful for Loomstate, who are still committed to showing off how sexy being green can be.
5) Lastly, we're thankful for the emergence of wave power, for showing that clean, green energy has been here all along.

Thanks for showing me the way!
I'm thankful for a new job I will be starting in December. I am going from driving 55 miles each way to 3.6 miles each way. I might eventually even walk or ride a bike and be able to abandon driving a car to work altogether.
I'm thankful for all the loving and supporting people in my life, and for all the good people out there making a difference for the better in this world, like you folks.
Thank you for publishing this website. Keep up the good work.
I am thankful for Nicola and David Finch. They are making beautiful wooden wedding rings for my finance and I.
The rings are about as green as wedding rings can get :)

I'm thankful for not being isolated, or a lone, in a shell.

So here is to thanks giving!
I'm thankful that Oprah has decided to tackle global warming.... hopefully she'll make it a sustainable effort!:)
We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in my country, but that's no reason to stop anyone from being thankful for all good things in life.
I've had a lot of nice things happen to me this year, but I'm most thankful for all my loved ones, and for the fact that my father came through his bypass surgery alive and better than ever.
