About

I'm a writer and a teacher and along with Ben and Dave, a founder of MakeMeSustainable.
I alternate daily between being really scared about where we as a planet are headed and hopeful that we are all going to do something amazing about it.

Adam's Sustainable Notes

Today:: Checking out the Citysol concert and sustainable festival in NYC this weekend.

Everyday:: I only take the subway or walk. I haven't bought any bottled drinks this week.

Tomorrow:: I would like to tell my children one day that we all cared more about global warming and clean water than something called an iphone or the latest news about a hotel heiress.

	Bonnie Cottle Hi Adam, I emailed you some questions re: the Q & A last week, and I just wanted to confirm that you actually received them. No problem if you did and just need some more time to answer and get back to me, I just want to make sure they didn't end up in your spam filter or something. Let me know. Thanks!

	Bonnie Cottle Hello! Thanks for friending me. I just discovered this site and I like what you are doing here. I was wondering if I could interview you or email you some interview questions to write a short Q & A piece (very informally). I'm currently trying to kickstart a freelance career and I would be interested to hear how this got started and write about it. I could try to get it posted somewhere online and maybe get more exposure for the site as well. I'm certainly going to email friends, regardless, and get them to sign up. This is a great focus for a social networking community! Please let me know. Thanks! Posted at 05:34 AM on July 11, 2007 \| report
	Mecayla Emailed her again...she might not have gotten the clue that it was THAT Adam and Tiffany;) I'll continue to hound her... Posted at 05:45 PM on July 10, 2007 \| report
	Isabel Duke SO after Friday night's dinner conversation about PVC, I did some research and was very upset by what I discovered. After trying my very best to give up bottled water in favor of tap in the name of the enironment as well as my health, I was very upset to read not only about the abounding health and environmental consequences of PVC (and the fact that it seems to be unavoidable, even in the air we breathe), but to learn that it is used in the majority of US piping systems from which we get our water. SO basically I have two options: PVC-infested tap or plastic bottled water. I don't like either choice. This news was very disturbing to me. Posted at 08:45 AM on July 09, 2007 \| report
