If you ask her mom (and she prays you won't), Whitney's mom will tell you that Whitney has been an environmentalist since birth, regaling you with stories like how, at the age of two, Whitney would rescue two-liter soda bottles from the trash and use them as instruments AND at the age of five, if they ever drove by a smoke stack of any kind, Whitney would break into an uncontrollable tearful rant about the pollution. But Whitney believes strongly in what she does. She plans on continuing her education in the field of environmental studies, and currently works for a leading carbon offsetting and green consulting company. Whitney loves the planet, and wants to show people how simple/easy/fun and cost-effective sustainable living can be. Love the articles? Loathe them? Tell her how you feel at ecogreendream@yahoo.com.
