We enjoyed an amazing, successful, and promising year in 2007. So much has changed for the better in the green movement and within the green marketplace. In this Holiday Issue of DestinationGreen, we want to highlight some of those successes, such as our launch of green cleaning in Mexico, as well as help prepare you for 2008 as we look forward to the New Year.

First of all, there are a few matters of a time-sensitive nature that may be found in the "Calls for Action" area below. Voting or comments are requested immediately for LEED-EB revisions, Great Seal GS-37 revisions, and Illinois Green Cleaning in Schools legislation. I encourage all of you to please scroll down for more information and get involved where and when you can.

Also, for those last minute gift ideas, including those to yourself…. I do want to remind you we are showing our appreciation to all of our loyal DestinationGreen readers by offering a special reduced-price on our newest book – “Green Selling Tips” - this 20% reduction is available throughout the Holiday Season until December 31. Please see the link on the lower right of this page to read more or purchase online.

This month's Green Selling Tip - "Preparing for the New Year" will help you prepare yourself to be even more successful in 2008. I apologize for the length of the article, as my tips are usually more concise, but I felt it was important to include the full text of the article in this issue.

In closing, I feel nothing can be of more importance on a global level than the signing of the recent accords in Bali. We are witnessing the waking of mankind and the advent of taking responsibility for our unintentional negative impacts on the environment. How fitting we see this promising agreement signed as we enjoy the Holiday Season, because we truly are the stewards of this planet all life that it provides for. So great news to further add to the Holiday magic, and a great way to close the year!

We wish you, your families and your loved ones a healthy, happy, prosperous and green Holiday Season and New Year!

Steve
