I collaborate on community-led projects involving gardens, orchards, green spaces, sustainable construction, and place-based education. I’ve facilitated workshops at colleges, nonprofits, schools, and community organizations. My work reflects a regenerative approach rooted in local participation and ecological responsibility. I have a degree in Green Building from the State University of New York, and my writing has appeared in Permaculture Design Magazine, Lion’s Roar Magazine, The Times Union, and other publications. What’s mattered most to me are the relationships I’ve built and the collective work I’ve been part of—real, community-based efforts to build a better future.

To Plastic, or Not to Plastic? The Ethical Failure of a Wasteful Society
In Hamlet, the prince ultimately acts—but only after much hesitation, after much suffering. Let us not wait until we are beyond saving to make our choice. To plastic, or not to plastic? That is not just a question. It is one of the defining moral decisions of our time.

Permaculture as a Tool, Not a Destination
If you are on the permaculture train, I applaud you, it’s a great ride, but I also invite you to look around and ask: where is it really going? Is it fostering collective care and ecological reciprocity, or is it just another form of “green” entrepreneurship? Has it challenged the dominant system or capitalist materialism? Or has it merely carved out a comfortable niche within it?
