Environmental Issues Turning Many Into Treehuggers

Remember when calling someone a “tree hugger” was supposed to be an insult? Now with global warming becoming a prominent issue, it seems to be worn like a badge of honor and I’m sure there are people who would hug a lot worse than trees to get a traffic trend like treehugger.com has.
The one-stop-shopping site for everything green has seen substantial growth over the past two years with unique visitors in April of this year up 281% over the same month last year, and more than 8 times bigger than April 2006.
The depth of the site has also led to increased engagement – just under 7 page views per visit. Treehugger is an impressive example of the new environmentally conscious wave and it’s indicative of an overall trend.
We took a look back at our ’07 resolution to see how far the environmental category as a whole (ranging from the old school - sierraclub.org and greenpeace.org, to the newer wave - motherearthnews.com and treehugger.com, and more) has done since then. After moderate growth from April ’06 to ’07 (14%), unique visitor traffic growth accelerated over the past year, growing 33% since last April.
From the perspective of the sites and the state of the environment, this graph shows that the trend is going in the right direction and as the general public becomes more aware of the issues it will only increase. Someday maybe we’ll all be tree huggers.

I know there are those of you out there that do not believe in “Global Warming” but I offer you a reviw of this winters storms not only in the great United States but all over the world. I have found my little CZ Infrared heater to have saved me not only money but effort. I live on a sail boat with a cement hull that gets quite cold. The only other source of heat was our wood stove. The CZ Infrared heater was quite able to keep the temprature up except on the coldest nites and even then I was not required to wake up and feed the woodstove every 2 hours. The electricty I used was still less than the wood would have cost. Its as safe as a light bulb. no combustion - no venting needed. What a blessing!!!

Hey I got one too. It paid for its self within 3 months. Of course my electric bill went up but the savings on fuel for the furnace was well worth the initial investment.

This is not the time of year we are thinking about saving money on heat but the time to
prepare for next winter. The CZ Infrared heater sounds like a sound investment. I like the idea it does not use fuel. No fumes in my house either! And, they are currently on SALE at http://www.czinfrared.com.
