Meet the Sharps

Welcome to our blog. I (Maya) will probably be the one writing most of our posts and hopefully Dan will contribute some of his expertise once in a while. This blog is to share the information that we have learned over the past few years as we have changed our lifestyle significantly to reflect our ever growing understanding of our impact on the planet and others. My plan is to add to this blog in the next month to share info on solar panels, biodiesel, native gardens, fair trade, and a myriad of other things we wish we had at out fingertips a few years ago.

We believe local is good so we will focus on all things close to Pasadena. In actuality we don't get out to far because we have a 2 and a 4 year old and we want to cause as little property damage as we can.

To let you now about us a little more, Dan's day job is as a civil engineer but on the side he is a contractor, auto mechanic, biodiesel brewer, environmental expert, speaker and so many other things. He keeps me busy. Aaron is a 4 year old aspiring engineer, demolition man, teacher, stuntman, and politician. Celeste is 2 years old and she prefers to be reffered to as Diego the animal rescuer, Nemo, Super Why, or Conquering Kid. Maybe she watches too much TV. Whoever she is, I hope her alter-ego can be potty-trained quickly.

I am a stay-at-home mom who actually needs to get out quite a bit to keep my sanity. As a once reluctant environmentalist I am writing this blog to share that being more mindful of your impacts on the earth and the people in it is really not as hard as it may seem and it is actually very freeing. Read on to find out more, we have a lot to share.
