Hello

Girl gets green.

What does that even mean?

No, this won't be a poem, but seriously, how cliche can I sound? "Go green" is basically  a blank expression these days, on par with the likes of "sustainable", "local", "natural" and "farm fresh" but there is no better phrase I can think of to describe my mission, except perhaps "go back".

This isn't the start of said mission, I have been trying to make changes little by little over the years, but January is a time for resolutions and this year I resolve to actively be better at being green.

How did I get here?

Tradition. Family meals for 23 years - always at the table, always cooked together.


Farm time. I spent a summer running children's activities and soaking up all the knowledge I could at
Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture 

Awakening. 8 months as an intern at Slow Food USA  opened my eyes to the fight for food justice. 
History. A family tree that passed down a passion for environmental protection and a concern for human rights.  

Let's get this started!
