Lola

Location:

Berkeley, CA

Favorite green websites/publications:

Greenhome.huddler.com. Prius owners' manual. And 'Animal, Vegetable, Miracle' by Barbara Kingsolver -- a really inspiring account of a family's attempt to grow their own food for a year.

Favorite non-profit organization

Heifer Intl. -- instead of just providing food to people in 3rd world countries, they enable them to produce their own and become self-sustaining by supplying those in need with baby animals to begin a farm.

I think the most important environmental issue is:

Preserving green space (the Peninsula on the Bay Area is a great, local example)....global warming...access to clean water....sustainable farming

The greenest thing I do is:

Drive a hybrid. Recycle. Walk to work. Support local growers by shopping at farmers' markets (also because I love hanging out at them!). Try to really appreciate beautiful, clear sky days...perhaps that counts?

What does "sustainability" mean to me:

Utilizing natural resources as efficiently as possible to meet public demand.

Why am I passionate about being green?

For future generations' sake...even though that sounds super cliche....
