Profile Information
- Hometown:
- Brooklyn, NY
- What book, article, film etc. caused your awakening?
- My parents had a pretty early influence on my awakening, but what really shook my roots were a couple of great works I read in college: "The End of Nature" and "Hope, Human and Wild", both by Bill McKibben.
- What do you wish were different about your town/city
- Better bike lanes, more alternative transportation services. Solar panels battling green gardens and pastures for rooftop supremacy. Rivers safe to swim and recreate in 365 days/year.

Your book was one of the first texts I read about sustainability and while still living in the city and experiencing parenthood, I started implementing some of your very practical tips for energy conservation.
I will be interested in reading your inputs in our ongoing discussions and I am personally inviting you to visit the Rockland Sustainable Community and share ideas with our members.
