There can only be one winner...

Browsing School Library Journal for December 2006 led me to the “Word of the Year” for 2006. Carbon Neutral is the winner, urging us to live a greener way of life or off-setting the damage we may do to the environment by doing something environmentally positive. The winner for 2005 was podcast, a word that has changed how we gather and receive information. The runners up from both years provide insight to our culture and the cutting-edge technologies, concepts, or language we use (or may use in the future.) Maybe carbon neutral, (some argue promoted by Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth,) will have a positive impact on how we live our lives. The word is having an impact in the blogging world, people are a buzz with this new word of the year! Makes you wonder what could be the winner for 2007, what will this year bring?
