President’s Message
Though I started my working life as a civil engineer, and then morphed into a management consultant, www.center4pm.com, my hobby and ‘off screen’ focus is on nutritious and tasty food, and all its variations. At the start of 2007, I began writing a food column for three regional newspapers, which led me to wondering how I could combine my professional experience with advancing the cause of living a more green and empathetic life which is mindful of the needs of others. One of the triggers for the change was an experience while I was on a consulting assignment in Segovia, Spain. The elevator in my hotel building had a sign that read, "Occupancy 5." Someone had crossed it out and jotted down, "Or 3 Americans."
The result is the FamilyGreenSurvival program designed to build a deep commitment to green living, develop knowledge and empathy for the world’s low income and poor population, deliver a program of healthy nutrition practices to combat obesity, and to provide education scholarships for students from low income families nationally and internationally.
Join us and be a part of the solution.
Thank You
