If I could change one thing in the world, it would be:

Require that all toilet paper/tissues/paper towels are made from recycled paper. Amongst other things :)

I think the most important environmental issue is:

Sustainability.

The greenest thing I do is:

My wife and I are vegetarian. I cycle commute to work when I live close enough.

What does "sustainability" mean to me:

Being conscious of the resources that we use.

Why am I passionate about being green?

I grew up in New Zealand and was a "tree hugger" from a young age. My real passion for being green started while at University, and then I met my wonderful wife who introduced me to being vegetarian.

About Me

I studied Geography and sustainable transportation at University. I love to talk about green issues and politics. I love to shock my family with my wild ideas about how tofu can be used. I miss having a vegetable garden, and I miss being able to cycle to work.
