As many of you know, Green Options is not my first foray into the world of green blogging: I started sustainablog in 2003, and have written for Treehugger for about 14 months. Since Green Options launched, I've had to curtail my blogging a bit — I cut back on my Treehugger schedule, and put sustainable on hiatus at the end of May.

Things change, though, and during a recent discussion with TH founder Graham Hill about the direction and success of Green Options, we decided that it was a good time for me to "call it a day" as a TH contributor. I've got nothing but respect and admiration for the folks at Treehugger, and thoroughly enjoyed my time writing for them. But, it is time to move on… I've got plenty to handle here!

At the same time, a blogger blogs… and I'm definitely a blogger at heart. So, I've decided that the split from Treehugger means it's a good time to get sustainablog going again. I also looked at the calendar and realized that tomorrow, July 10th, is sustainablog's fourth anniversary. So, to celebrate that anniversary, I'm relaunching sustainablog. While I should probably wait until tomorrow, I'm just too excited… my baby comes out of hiatus tonight.

Please come by, say "Hi," and let me know what you think. I'll keep my writing at sustainablog largely separate from the work I do here — maybe an occasional cross post, but, otherwise, I won't be "GO's Senior Editor and Content Director" there. Rather, I'll go back to where I started: a passionate student of and advocate for sustainability in all of its myriad forms. I can't wait…

Next Thursday, we'll launch another regular feature at the Green Options blog: Green Myth-Busting. Myths abound about environmentalism, sustainability and green living, and we want to make sure that those of you considering your green options have the facts you need to make informed choices.

Normally, we'd announce a feature like this with it's first installment, but we're jumping out ahead of this one because we'd like to give you the opportunity to let us know about "green myths" you've encountered. Our writers have already started discussing some topics, but we also want to hear from you: what myths are out there about the green life that you'd like to see addressed? Or, perhaps you've heard something about recycling, composting, renewable energy, etc., that doesn't quite sound right, but you're not sure. Send it along — we'll check it out.
