Treehugger Names Streetsblog “Best Green Transportation Advocacy”

Wow! We are honored. Treehugger blogs dozens of green-goings-on throughout the U.S. and the world
everyday (so many some say it is hard to read them all!) We get
regularly featured with some of our posts and films and we are very thankful. But
even more exciting is the fact that Streetfilms, Streetsblog and the
Livable Streets Initiative were chosen Best Green Transportation Advocacy
in their First Annual "Best of Green" selections this week. Lots of
great awards in there besides us, and thanks to Treehugger as our
numbers are huge this week.
