Welcome to the Green Room. This is your space so get comfortable. Many of us are looking for ways to reduce our eco-footprint and be better citizens of the world. The Green Room is a place where you can share your tips and learn from other people's stories.

Our staff will be sharing their experiences in the Green Room as well. You'll often see postings from Executive Producer, Bonnie Kunkel, and Content Manager, Tracy Giordano. We hope you too will be a regular in the Green Room!
