• Launched http://peaceloveplanet.blogspot.com/ to chronicle my family’s journey to reduce our carbon footprint on the world, one green “babystep” at a time. The blog has grown, and is viewed worldwide. • Evolved the original blog concept to incorporate specific, contemporary concerns, and launched http://alacartegreen.blogspot.com/ based on the premise that it’s easiest for people to “make green choices on daily basis”, in a manner that works for the individual. The blog is “about trying and choosing greener options “a la carte” because there is no one size fits all solution”, and advocating that small green choices will have positive impacts on individuals, society, and the world.
