Interviewing Paul Hawken for Metropolis magazine
As a long-term environmentalist, I have followed Paul Hawken’s work with interest for some time.

Read all about it in the interview I did with him for the December, 2014 issue of Metropolis.

JORD Features Me on Their ‘Making Time’ Column
JORD took some time to ask me some really interesting questions: check out the interview I did with them about my philosophy, sustainability, and more.
I think getting people to think about the real long-term impacts of their actions-whether that’s through infographics, funny videos, articles, art, or TED Talks-is what it’s all about. I’m a believer that once people know that their choices are going to basically screw people over in the future (our current non-sustainable choices are built on a foundation of using future resources today), then the next thought is: “Do I have right to do that?”
