About
Hi!
My name is Katy. Thanks for stopping by!
When I was very young, my Mom would always talk to me about pollution, conservation of natural resources, and wildlife protection. This instilled in me a lifelong love for nature and a passion to protect it. My mission to recycle was so strong that one time, when I was 5, I picked up what I thought was a used balloon, and brought it to my Mom and asked, “Mama, how can we recycle this?” “Oh my God! Tell me you didn’t put that in your mouth!??! Drop it immediately!” She screamed as she scooped me up for a spontaneous teeth brushing and shower!!! I learned there is such thing as caring too much, haha!! Gotta learn to tone it down sometimes..
Many years later…. I sought education at the University of Oregon, one of the best “green” schools in the country, earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Studies in 2011. I have worked in the recycling/resale industry as an appraiser of home improvement goods, in the garbage/recycling industry as one bad muther-trucker, and in the water treatment industry.
My favorite ways to pass time are any and all things active! I love getting outside and trying new things! I am always amazed how much exercise plays a role in my mental health. No matter how down I may feel, if I can get moving and get my heart rate up, the result is always spiritual relief and mental clarity.
