Yes, we <i>totally<\/i> planned it that way.<\/p>\n<p>Those who know <a href=\"http:\/\/www.BradBlog.com\">The BRAD BLOG<\/a> know that we have, for more than 10 years now, tried to cover what is <i>important<\/i> here. Stuff that really <i>matters<\/i>. Not stuff that may be popular. Not stuff that is meant to please any particular constituency or funder. Not stuff that will necessarily bring clicks and traffic and comments. Not &#8216;listicles&#8217; and kitty photos and &#8216;sideboob&#8217;. Rather, we try to focus on what you <i>need<\/i> to know and\/or that which is not being adequately covered elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, we <i>need<\/i> your support to continue doing what so few sites are willing or able to do (much less for more than <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10475\">10 years<\/a>, as is the case with the blog &#8212; and now more than <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10512\">5 years<\/a> bringing you and the public airwaves that will have us, <a href=\"http:\/\/GreenNews.Bradblog.com\">500 episodes<\/a> of &#8220;independent green news, politics, analysis and snarky comment&#8221;.)<\/p>\n<p>In case you&#8217;re wondering, nobody <i>pays<\/i> us to do the <i>GNR<\/i>. We do it because we believe it&#8217;s needed and it&#8217;s the right thing to do. I should say, nobody pays us to do the <i>GNR<\/i> other than <i>you<\/i>!<\/p>\n<p>Please help us keep going. Your support here is, truly, the <i>only<\/i> chance that we&#8217;ve got. Please consider a donation below. A one-time donation of whatever you can afford is fantastic. A pledge of monthly sustaining support of whatever you can afford is even fantastic-er. Either or both are very much appreciated and <i>very<\/i> much needed.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your consideration in helping us to both celebrate <i>and survive&#8230;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Brad &#038; Desi<\/p>\n<p><!--BB-DONATEPITCH-START--><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f5f0e0; border:2px solid #6b5a2e; border-radius:6px; padding:10px 14px; text-align:center; font-family:Georgia,serif;\"><span style=\"display:block; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#3a2e0e; font-size:0.95em; line-height:1.5;\"><strong>The BRAD BLOG<\/strong>, <em>The BradCast<\/em> and <em>Green News Report<\/em> are all 100% independent and 100% listener and reader supported!<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/Donate\" style=\"display:inline-block; background:#6b5a2e; color:#ffffff; padding:6px 18px; border-radius:4px; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:0.9em;\">Please CLICK HERE to help support our work today!<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!--BB-DONATEPITCH-END-->\/table><\/p>\n<p>Oh, now go listen to <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10592\"><i>GNR&#8217;s<\/i> 500th episode!&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we crossed a milestone.
