Just a quick note:
I was on TreeHugger’s site today and clicked an ad that showed up in the left-hand column.
It appears that TreeHugger is still looking for people to fill positions on it’s rapidly growing team, and we thought there might be some here in the GreenJoyment community who would be interested in finding out more and possibly applying.
If you do apply, it’s not necessary, but we’d love it if you would mention that you heard through GreenJoyment.com about their search for qualified people.
Find out more at TreeHugger, or read below.

I am a semi-retired dentist Living in Berkeley Springs WV, trying to become more self sufficient and green. I lived and worked in DC, which is a 1.75 hour trip away. My Dad was a part time lobbyist for a labor union. When in DC I was part of a healthy lifestyles group in Takoma Park. Medical and nutritional info was shared in the group. I could be of help to you in a few different ways. Because of my bacground I can speak and understand conservative and christian viewpoints and know specifically where weaknesses are and support is on green issues (and other issues which knock them off their foundation). I am not mean spirited in my approach and can do it as information sharing and caring. Let me know if I am worth sometning to you. If you have Obama contacts, I could probably help with strategies pre and post election.
