Clocktower at night in Ribeauville France

Peace, charity, giving, family – that’s the true spirit of Christmas or whatever spiritual traditions you follow.  Believe in something that is bigger than you –a worthy cause, or 20, as I did this year — and make a gift from your heart. Animals, people, forgotten places and places at war– they all need us to make the world a better, and more sustainable,  place.

A big thank you to all of the people — like you –from 95 countries who visited  Green News Update this year to read our stories and think about the messages we share.  We hope you will find something here that moves  you to act.

Raise a glass to the New Year and hopes for a better world.

We’ll be back in 2015 with plenty of stories on cities worldwide, climate change, animals at risk, innovative people, and innovations in sustainability.

Happy New Year!  Bobbie Faul-Zeitler
