About journeyo:
journeyo's interests, passions, hobbies and favorite activities, etc.
MOTIVATORS: sustainable ways, life off the grid, pragmatic mysticism, biodynamic farming...in NYC, Alaska, alongside the mountain gorillas of Virunga,....oh, and stepping up our species' transition from the Industrial Era to the Life Sustaining Era by growing a post-consumer OR Sustainer Economy founded on fresh (re)definitions of "prosperity," "wealth" and "profit." That, too. Why? 'cause it's more fun to fix stuff! (see: arcosanti, kalani, eco-village at ithaca, urban divers, burning man, contact improv); plus our children in Dacca, Scottsdale, Cochabamba, Appalachia, Kigali...

Journey Into Green:
How did journeyo come to be involved in Earth-conscious living?
Toxic exposure triggered catastrophic illness of a family member and, though I didn't know it then, launched a lifelong journey into Sustainability. What does it mean? How can people work together to live it? That sparked environmental justice activism, a greening of my own personal supply chain, healthier food choices, and a huge education from systemic to spiritual study of issues our crafty species has the smarts to face & transcend for a surviving and thriving planet!
