About
A few words about me. I’m someone who enjoys digital media, strenuous activity in the great outdoors, travelling all while seeking out great food and wine and most importantly, advocating for our planet’s environment. The best way for me to advocate for the environment is to work hard taking steps to minimize my overall footprint (or impact) on the Earth’s environment. I do this in a variety of ways that include educating myself, taking steps to use less and, with respect to this website, posting thoughts and information to challenge other individuals to take steps to minimize their overall footprint. I believe that if we all work hard to minimize our own footprints that such efforts will have a profound effect on mitigating inevitable climate change.
