Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am and have been an activist/advocate and grassroots community organizer in Indiana,United States and globally for 20 years now.
I've worked with the IN Citizens Action Coalition for 19yrs. and worked for CAC 7yrs. I started my activist/environmentalist career as a volunteer for the Hoosier Environmental Council in 1990.
I was nominated to the Board of Directors of HEC, in 1996, but I had to decline due to divorce & needing to get a full time job :(
I started" Earth Ethics" Environmental & Natural Health Care Products,catalog & trade show sales company in 1994, I was also an
Eco consultant,Holistic & natural health consultant & Holistic Pet Care consultant.
I was the first Cleaning Company in Indianapolis& IN to use only non toxic & natural cleaning supplies. Also under the name of " Earth Ethics"
I originally started my cleaning Co. in the 80's under the name of
"Worry Free Cleaning Service". I incorporated the name to Earth Ethics after I changed over to using only eco-friendly cleaning products.
My 1st Company was "Earth Mother" handmade household cleaning products in 1992, but I mostly taught people how to make them for their selves,not so good for sales,lol.
I was editor for "Earth Day IN "-1994's grassroots handbook and author of 3 articles. In 2001 I Co-created the 1st "Take Back the Earth Day" event with 2 young creative & passionate people( Dan Sockrider and Jan Feldman)in cooperation with Common Bonds and about 31 Environmental,political and Social Justice groups in Indiana.It was a protest to the corporate sponsorship of Indiana's Earth Day event.
I am currently restarting Earth Ethics ( I closed it in 2002) as an online Green network & learning center.
I'm very excited to be here and hope to network,learn & contribute all I can on this site.

- This is getting frustrating, how could we have let Monsanto get this far....
Monsanto's Crops Spawning Superweed Epidemic in U.S.
http://current.com/1v1nu4c
I know for a fact that even here in Fort Waynes community gardens the pigweeds are huge and extremely difficult to control at garden sites that previously grew farm GM soybeans.
Even with the refugee pop. harvesting this stuff to eat, there is still gonna be huge problems with certain amaranths like Palmer amaranth.We should start considering species of amaranth as a crop instead of trying to eradicate it.

- OMG! That is so appropriate to the fact I bought some peaches from some cranky farm market vendor recently, not organic, from Alabama, auctioned produce, that tasted like crap, and actually stung my mouth, as well as my son-in-laws mouth, we asked each other what in the world is on/in these peaches???!!!!
Yea, we missed you, wondered what yer up to.....we been busy in the community gardens working like field hands of course.....

6-pound foal born in NH may be world's tiniest
Jim Cole Four-year-old Garrett Mullen watches three-day-old pinto stallion named Einstein in Barnstead, N.H., Sunday, April 25,2010. The diminutive horse born in New Hampshire could lay claim to the world record for lightweight foal. The pinto stallion named Einstein weighed just 6 pounds and measured 14 inches in height when he was born Friday in Barnstead, N.H. Those proportions fit a human baby just about right but are downright tiny for horse, even a miniature breed like Einstein. (AP Photo/Jim Cole)
