Eco-Consultation with New York's "Green" Expert.
|
Embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle can be a daunting prospect for the average urban dweller. The first step is to look at which aspects of your everyday life have the biggest impacts and then make changes -- large or small-- to improve the situation. A housecall by New York "green living" authority Ben Jervey will help get you started. Expert in urban environmentalism, Mr. Jervey focuses on practical and practicable solutions for "greening" your home and lifestyle.
Using an "ecological footprint" quiz, Mr. Jervey will evaluate your current environmental impact, then show you easy and simple ways to lessen your burden on the planet's natural resources and to reduce your contribution to global warming. He will explain the importance of these issues, without prying on your conscience or pummeling you with guilt. By the session's end, you'll realize that it's not only easy being green, but that an eco-conscious lifestyle brings about many of its own rewards.
This private 2-hour housecall includes an Energy Conservation Audit with tips and strategies for how to use less electricity in your home, allowing you to save money while doing good; discussion of different options for how to purchase renewable energy for your home; greening your diet with more eco-friendly fare, the best for your health and the planet's; advise on how to keep your house or apartment clean without the use of dangerous chemicals; simple steps to start conserving water; a wardrobe assessment with tips for finding more eco-friendly apparel; general lifestyle and consumer tips for achieving a more environmentally-responsible life.
The consultation is available to anyone within the New York metropolitan area. It can also be adapted to a professional setting, as small businesses can benefit greatly from eco-friendly practices.
Included is a personalized copy of Mr. Jervey's book The Big Green Apple: Your Guide to Eco-Friendly Living in New York City, as well as a number of product samples and information to help get you started tinting your life a deeper shade of green.
About Ben Jervey
His interest in urban environmental issues began at Middlebury College where he studied Environmental Studies and Geography, eventually presenting a thesis on Green Cities. His commitment to environmental and social responsibility brought him to Curitiba, Brazil, the "ecological capital of the world," where he worked with the municipal planning board, gathering urban ecological solutions and ideas from this model green city.
His articles and essays have appeared in the New York Daily News, Vermont Magazine, and various local newspapers and online environmental journals. In New York City, he has worked with a not-for-profit partner to the Parks Department dedicated to improving the city's open space, and he now works for the green energy, arts and education center at Solar One. He is the author of The Big Green Apple: Your Guide to Eco-Friendly Living in New York City, the bible for "green" living in the city.
