About Me

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." —Margaret MeadI really enjoy my job as an educator, which is so fulfilling and helps me pay the bills. I'm also lucky to have supportive family and friends too."You can tell how high a society is by how much of its garbage is recycled." —Dhyani Ywahoo (Native American)I have really been working on recycling just about everything for the benefit of our precious Earth and living things. It has been a fun journey toward getting closer to nature. We are pretty fortunate in San Jose to have such a great recycling program.If you want to be friends, write me and have a great day!
