I have a passioN that encompasses all aspects of sustain-ability, social justice, and our local community. I grew up in Santa Fe and briefly moved to Southern California to receive my BA in Environmental Biology from Pomona College. I became captivated by the ideals of sustainability and social justice, the growing green movement, and the search for solutions to numerous global problems. I moved back home to put my enthusiasm and budding knowledge into tangible practice—within the community that raised me. I have since worked with Earth Care to help build a local, sustainable food system; addressed climate change and adaptation strategies through New Mexico governmental policy work; and supported Northern New Mexico farmers through programmatic work with the Santa Fe Farmers Market Institute. Working with EcoSource has allowed me to further fuel my passion for ecological issues and sustainable solutions. EcoSource is a community resource tool designed to reflect the locally-owned, eco-minded businesses in Santa Fe, Taos, and Northern New Mexico that value the future of our world. EcoSource aims to highlight innovative projects and trades, and collaboratively connect people with local businesses. We want to thank all the businesses that share our values, and welcome all those that are jumping on board for the next issue, out in July 2013. Please help us make Northern New Mexico a model for environmental success. Pick up a copy of EcoSource at Cid’s Market in Taos and at La Montanita Co-op and Counter Culture in Santa Fe. Pass this resource guide along to your friends, family, and colleagues—whether companions or competitors. By joining forces we can emboy sustainable community living and enjoy a world that engages our future gnerations.
