   Green Living Now

   Jan 2008 — Present · VT, US

   I help people who feel like “something’s off” with their food, homes, and health reclaim clarity and confidence—without overwhelm, perfectionism, or greenwashed advice.For more than 30 years, I’ve researched, tested, and taught practical green living in the real world through community organizing, media appearances and interviews, education, farming, and hands-on programs. My work has included launching community health initiatives, advocating for stronger pesticide protections, serving as tech editor for The Green Living for Dummies, leading nonprofit work on household toxins for Seventh Generation, and hosting farm tours, retreats, festivals, and workshops that reconnect people with real food and healthier living.I’m also the host of the Green Living Now Podcast, where I interview leading voices in holistic health, regenerative agriculture, and toxin reduction while sharing real stories of people who have transformed their wellbeing through practical, grounded lifestyle changes. The podcast has become a trusted space for people seeking clarity, credible information, and hopeful, real-world solutions.Rather than focusing only on product swaps or detox checklists, I help people develop discernment—learning how to see through marketing claims, trends, and conflicting health advice so they can make confident, practical choices that truly support their homes and families.Through my courses, podcast, consulting, and immersive programs on our organic farm in Vermont, I help people move beyond confusion and fear toward clarity, confidence, and lasting change—connecting clean food, non-toxic living, and holistic health into a way of life that actually works in the real world.Whether someone is making simple first shifts or ready for a deeper lifestyle reset, my goal is the same: to help people live healthier, more empowered lives aligned with their values.
