My primary interest is how to live sustainably in cities. Yes, that covers the whole spectrum of "greenness". I have a hard time compartmentalizing green philosophy because to me the essence of change is understanding the connections between our lives and the natural world at every scale. For every interaction there is a network of connections. Being green is considering them all. To me a green city is an eco-topian oasis, full of abundance and life and healthy people. There are manifestations of this vision all around and I'm taking notes. My writing aims to document and share (green) city living solutions whether they be individual, organizational, or municipal in scope. I like to learn, be challenged, and to raise the bar.
