About Us
We are a family that has felt a strong pull to change our "business as usual" attitude. We have become aware that excessive and wasteful consumerism has wreaked havoc upon the earth, critically compromising our planet’s waters, land and atmosphere, the ecosystems on which our survival depends. We understand that it is each person's responsibility to do all we can to lessen the effects of global climate change.
