I am 28 and feel compelled to spend a lifetime working towards more sustainable communities and a more sustainable world! I've lived on the East Coast, I've lived in the Mountains of Colorado, and now I am back to the east and living in upstate New York! I want to inspire other young people to become community organizers to take action on issues that matter to them, just as I was inspired by my mentors in college and after. Not only do we need to make personal decisions to create sustainable lives for ourselves, but we also need collective action so that we can create the communities, the society, and the infrastructure for sustainability!
