I am 31 years old. Growing up I was a typical boy. I played sports, liked video games and read comics. I am the oldest of four brothers and because I was in charge (a lot) it gave me a nurturing attitude. I am married to my high school sweetheart who I've been married to going on nine years and have known for more than half my life. She's my best friend. In March of 2004 we expanded our family and now five years later I have 3 beautiful, smart, and vivacious little girls.
In grammar school I learned about recycling and brought home a few handouts. We started recycling, checking numbers and symbols on the cans and bottles to see what was OK to recycle. Somewhere along the way I lost that passion that I had to do my part and help out society. By the time I was a young adult I went from a helping kid to a hooligan that launched his soda bottle out the window of his car.
Over the last few years that coincide with the beginning of my family expansion my wife has begun bringing home organic food. I was very skeptical at first to say the least, but as time went on I started to realize the potential benefit. This started a chain reaction. If I can eat a little healthier, or with less preservatives, maybe I can doing other things a little healthier if not for myself maybe my children, my neighborhood, or even my planet.
