We are very pleased to be able to let you guys know about our new partnership with the Worldwatch Institute. Worldwatch is a thinktank: perhaps the most important thinktank in the world, one which has been at the forefront of sustainability policy for more than 30 years. You probably know their annual State of the World reports -- if you don't, you should; they were some of my first lessons in sustainability back in the day, and they are essential reading -- but you may not know that Worldwatch also publishes Worldwatch magazine, puts out white papers on key issues, and blogs.

Now their team is also going to be blogging with us. We are very excited to say that we'll be running posts from Worldwatch staffers on a regular basis here over the next three months. Welcome aboard, Worldwatchers!
