    Swimming For A Healthy World
    On April 22, 2009, I dove into the freezing-cold, dirty Atlantic Ocean in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and began a 1000+ mile swim to Washington, DC. Along the way, I will help students in over 2,000 classrooms launch projects designed to improve the health of our ocean planet.

    Bringing People Together to Make Environmental Change Happen
    Making connections between our daily activities and what they do to the planet, that's what green photography is about for me. I'm an environmental activist embarking on photo projects that I hope will inspire and empower other urbanites towards building a sustainable future for their communities.
