Hi there, counterstrike! Welcome to the huddle. Thanks so much for jumping right into the forums. Agreed that the growth of the EV market is great. Is that yours in your avatar? Let me know if you have any questions about anything (I work at Huddler). Have a great day,

Cristina

Favorite green websites/publications:	Transportation informative reading- human power, electric, mass transit. Or readings concerning architecture/design Even information on Microcars like mine My city-el EV is yellow colored Microcar, but it is a "green machine". Many magazines- Wired, Motor Trend, Dwell, San Francisco magazine
Favorite non-profit organization	Many, but what is most interesting are those based on ecology (Eco Action) and several regarding the 'green' concept or frugality.
If I could change one thing in the world, it would be:	People everywhere live and let live! Enough of that country versus country nonsense! Of course that begins with city A getting along with city B.
I think the most important environmental issue is:	Overpopulation without planning, and economic concerns- constant urban sprawl in a throw-away nomadic society! I like to grow where I was rooted.
The greenest thing I do is:	Pedal my recumbent trikes, or use my Electric Vehicle! Of course; I use many florescent light bulbs, have re-used and re-cycled a LOT for many years- since 1980 or so with 'envelope' housing, "scrub" bicycle motors & huge florescent light bulbs.
What does "sustainability" mean to me:	Treading lightly on the earth, not using everything up.
Why am I passionate about being green?	Dislike driving now for the most part, although I still drive (doctor/store) a "recycled" disposable car. Using my own power on a trike is an invigorating exercise, and having built that trike gives me special pride! The trike is even a green colour, but my City-el is yellow!
About Me	Artist-bike-mini bike-go kart-cars-motorcycles--cars-limousine-back to cars-"adult" tricycle to scooter then recumbent trikes AND scooter ~~-general education-college-trade school- back to college for architecture (education)~~many jobs working for others, but enjoying my 2nd childhood now! I had eventually opened my own bicycle shop but retired early-maybe I will be an artist someday!
