Dear firstname,
Rather like a stray cat, we were having trouble deciding on which day ecoescape was born. So we decided that it would be today as it's almost a year since ecoescape first went to print. And what an incredible year it's been.
So to kick off celebrations, we're giving away the last few copies of ecoescape: original that we have left. All you have to do is answer our survey and tell us what you think about our website and life in general.
We'll soon be announcing details about our new series of ecoescape guides! The first new guide in the series will be published in March by Green Guide. It'll be an extended UK version, followed hot on its heels by the first ever ecoescape: Ireland written by our new Ireland editor Catherine Mack. You can read a sneak preview on the Guardian website.
You'll be the first to find out about the new books, so hold tight.
For now make sure you get hold of your copy of the original ecoescape before they all go forever.
And finally, please vote for us in the Observer Ethical Business Awards.
