EcoSherpa - Your Source For “Edge-Of-The-Envelope Sustainability News”
It’s always nice to hear about people finding some value in our posts here on the blog. I must admit to being a bit of a feedback junkie - even if people want to provide us with critiques, I am more than happy to receive them with open-arms since such feedback can only help in the long run.
While we certainly can’t hope to win everyone over, we do aim to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. I know I can let my ‘inner goofball’ get away from me at times, but hopefully our more informative posts help to balance things out.
Anyway, I came across a nice blurb on the PeakOilDesign blog today (I made some of it bold):
…EcoSherpa has a post on solar panels made from blueberries. The site in general contains a number of excellent posts and really serves as a news source for edge-of-the-envelope sustainability news. They also link to a new site that could be promising, The Better World Homepage. I’d love to see how this one develops.
Well we certainly appreciate the kind words, and do enjoy offering up some interesting and unusual green news bytes whenever we can.

While I have everyone’s attention I guess it wouldn’t hurt to make this into a bit of a Sherpa News post.
1) First of all, I’m sure some of you have noticed the absence of Steve (aka “Sherpa”) for the last little while. Just so you know he is still alive and kicking, but happens to be extraordinarily busy with work projects at the moment. We should expect to hear much more from him in the new year. In the meantime I (”Sherpa #2″) am more than happy to hold down the fort.
2) You may have also noticed a couple new links to our EcoSherpa Squidoo Lens popping up in various places. Be sure to have a look if you haven’t checked it out in awhile (or at all). It’s coming along reasonably well and I hope to add more to it in the near future. I think it will be a great place to post some of the notable resources we come across (and blog about), and it also provides access to our EcoSherpa Flickr gallery (which at the moment is focused solely on my winter composting activities).
3) We are planning to launch an EcoSherpa newsletter before too long (probably early in new year) so keep your eye out for that. Aside from keeping everyone up to date with general Sherpa news, we hope to get to know our readers a wee bit better (and thus be able to provide an even better resource over time), and also will be periodically releasing a full-fledged newsletter (with graphics and longer articles etc).
4) Also stay tuned for some new websites from yours truly. As you can probably tell I’m pretty passionate about composting. While I enjoy sharing that passion on the EcoSherpa blog, I certainly don’t want to dilute our overall theme with too many composting-related posts - so I’m going to put together some smaller sites dedicated solely to the topic.
Ok, well I think that’s about it for now. As per usual, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions/comments/suggestions/requests.
Cheers,
Bentley
