Hi! I’m Janine. I’m not native to Scranton, but I spent some time here and still have family ties to the area. A few years ago, I brushed off things like recycling and climate change. There’s not really anything I can do about it, I thought, and what difference can one person make anyway? Then, I traveled. I spent a year and half road tripping across the U.S. in a camper and what I came away with was life changing. In many ways I grew, not the least of which in the way I viewed our planet earth. No longer was the environment a broad concept to me. I found a new respect for Mother Nature and began to choose my actions and uses with more purpose. About a year later, I became a mom and, once again, my world changed. Now I was thinking about my son’s future, too.
