About me

Introduction	Active living advocate, bike commuter, new mother, health educator, green living & sustainability proponent, public health grad, vegetarian . . . My passions are environmental sustainability and preventive health. Fortunately, these two interests are complimentary, as many “green” practices also enhance health and vice versa. This blog chronicles my attempts (not always successful) to be green in a world that is not always green friendly. I’ll cover ideas for being green and/or healthy, tales of a bike commuter, and anything else I find interesting or relevant. Things I try to do as much as possible: bike, walk, or take public transportation instead of driving; garden and eat food from the garden; buy locally grown produce; cook my own food; minimize water use; reduce the amount of waste I create. Things I avoid as much as possible: driving; buying processed food; television; having the thermostat above 63°F in the winter (much to my husband’s chagrin) or below 80°F in the summer.
