In keeping with the holiday spirit, I was thinking, how can I express my love and gratitude for all the people who have supported this blog throughout the year, and who have given so generously of their time, intelligence, and knowledge? Now familiar names who surprise me everyday with their comments and emails. And have transformed La Marguerite from a one person effort, into a rich community of passionate environmentalists. What better way than a symbolic gathering on this page, with a link to each one?

LaM,
Aren’t you sweet! and good tidings to you and all here. onward to 2008 and beyond. we have a long way to go to the year 2500, and let’s hope that when we get there, everything is okay and life goes on, without the worst case scenario some envisioned in 2007. Pray we get the fixes in on time.

I’d like to wish all the ‘green’ bloggers a happy new year. We certainly did our bit to make the environment THE issue of 2007. Well done everyone! 🙂
