I have no reason to support the destructive fossil fuel and airlines industries, since I have a good low-impact life with lots of great cultural and nature experiences right here on beautiful PEI. I try to do my part in the culture-shift to sharing stories and photos of LOCAL adventures and stay-cations, instead of feeling pressure to compete in the superficial ‘travel tourism’ culture that dominated pre-pandemic conversations in our society.
I’m a social justice activist and musician, and the Energy Project Coordinator for the Environmental Coalition of Prince Edward Island. I also enjoy volunteering on the regional board of the Sierra Club; organizing community events; and leading singalongs, contra dances, nature walks, canoe paddles, and discussions of other alternatives to fossil fuel consumption.
