While tending my desert garden, I became a sort of citizen scientist observing the impact of rising temperatures and declining rainfall in Tucson. That convinced me that we need to do everything we can to lessen the impact of climate change. I share my journey on Sustainable Living Tucson blog. That includes what I have learned about sustainable practices like water-harvesting and clean energy. I also directed a virtual production of my play, "Regeneration: The Tucson Story" that you can find on Youtube. I am currently the lead of Sustainable Tucson's Environmental Advocacy group and a member of the Water Committee. I attend the Pima Department of Environmental Quality's Green Infrastructure planning meetings as Sustainable Tucson's Water Ambassador. I also rally my friends on social media to become active too by posting Calls to Action from my blog Desktop Activist Tucson.
