ABOUT

Thank you for visiting my website!

I am "Eco" Meg, a 40-something, married mom of two.  Formerly a financial services professional, I have been a stay at home mom since my first child was born.  After spending most of my life in big cities, I now live in what might be characterized as the countryside.  This has been a bit of an adjustment!

Green living became a strong passion for me once my first child entered my life in 2004. I don’t think I’m being dramatic by saying I’ve been transformed by my concern for my children. I now pay more attention to our diet, to the health and efficiency of our immediate environment, and to the impact we have on the world.

I chronicle here my adventures in going green. It’s a way for me to keep track of the things I’ve tried and learn from others how to do things better. And maybe I can inspire others to join me on this journey toward a healthier life - or at least provide some laughs!

Thanks for reading!


Meg
