E-MAILS & TWEETS
CHUCK LEAVELL GOES GLOBAL Michael, Hey, 'Bro Michael! Always great to hear
from you, and thanks for the kind words and continued support of MNN. We've continued our steady climb in visitation and page view numbers (close to 10 million a month and over 25 million respectively) and have been able to increase our number of staff journal- ists all of whom do a great job for us. It's been quite a journey for me and I've learned a lot… both about our environmental and social challenges and about running a website. In some ways running the site is like having a great band…all good individual players on their respective instruments….but most im- portantly to listen to each other and play to- gether and inspire each other. It's all about the groove. On a personal note, I'm about to join an in-
teresting group called The Global Reforesta- tion Council. Other members are listed below. Don't know why they wanted to scrape so low to ask me, but I'm excited to engage with them. The main goal of the Council is to meet with world leaders and find partners for them to restore forests that have been converted or deforested. We'll also be writing op/eds and doing what we can to raise awareness about how important our global forests are to all of us.
I'll also be attending the
UN's Climate Summit later this month, which I'm buzzed about. Keep up the great work and I know we'll stay in touch!
Cheers, Chuck Rebel Yell Rebel Yell Rebel Yell Global Reforestation Council
