The 23rd Carnival of Green!
OrganicAuthority.com is proud to host the 23rd Carnival of Green!

We must pay tribute to our founding fathers Al Tepper @ City Hippy and Nick Aster @ Triple Pundit.com . A big thank you goes out to our last week’s host Exuberant Pantaphobia and next week’s host The Evangelical Ecologist.
