We, The Green Optimistic team, want to thank you for being loyal to us during 2011.
As a sign of our appreciation, I am writing this post and wishing you all the best in the year to come,
May all of your wishes come true and we hope you’ll love (or hate) some or our future green news just like you loved (or hated) some of last year’s news.
May we all live a greener life and may the companies and governments find solutions to give up oil and embrace clean-generated electricity, for our children’s sake, if not for ours.
And, last but not least, may you joyfully visit The Green Optimistic for the rest of your life and ours! Let’s hope 2012 will bring all the best and prosperity to everybody!
Thank you for being our reader. Truly.
