During the year, Gaiam strengthened its community by acquiring Zaadz, a leading social networking site; LIME Media, a multimedia lifestyle company; and a majority ownership of Conscious Enlightenment, an online and offline community. Gaiam also entered into a strategic relationship with Care2, a social networking site with 7.5 million members. Additionally, the Company expanded its solar business with the acquisition of a solar energy integrator.

2007 is shaping up to be a banner year for green marketing. Growing public concern about the environment, combined with the rise of digital media covering it, has sparked many an eco-marketing initiative devoted to saving the planet -- or at least talking about it in ads.

This past week, we've been finalizing an arrangement that brings all four of these companies and communities together. We'll be inviting the members of Gaiam, Lime, and Conscious Enlightenment into our little oasis—just as their doors will be opened to us. (No request is necessary, but please make sure that any new faces feel at home!) And not to worry: the Zaadz you know won't change—as long as you're here, we'll still be the Zaadz community—but we're excited to think about the potential of sharing podcasts from Lime or articles from Common Ground or videos from Gaiam's amazing library.
