Earth Day is coming up (on Sunday), so of course we have to list the Earth Day freebies!
Announcement: New Writers
But before we get to that, I’m excited to announce that we have our new writers on board! Beginning next week, you’ll start to see their articles and get to know each of them. And just like last time (when we brought on Jill and Amanda) we’ll watch to see who is the most popular with readers over the next few months. The writers who get the best response will join us as staff writers going forward.
