Welcome to Ellie’s Room…

… a space covering a broad range of environmental topics, from ecological restoration and indigenous stewardship to sustainable city planning, green technology, and so much more. I created this space to provide readers with hope. Too often we are bombarded by climate doom and gloom, despite the amazing opportunities we have at our fingertips.

It is possible to reframe the occurrence of global climate change into something extraordinary, despite such high stakes. If human beings are powerful enough to cause the environmental degradation we see today, we are more than capable of transforming our present circumstances into a beautiful future where technology, culture, worldwide connectivity, and our innate connection to nature guide the way to a profound new way of living.

Perhaps all it takes to make such a transition is to become aware. Aware of how we influence the space around us. Aware of the things we use to survive. Aware of how our we create our lifestyles. Aware of who we are as individuals, and aware of what each one of us needs to be happy. Awareness will guide us on our journey. Once we shed light into an otherwise dark or unknown room, we can see what needs to be done.

Ultimately, Ellie’s Room is an exploration of what I have become aware of, guided by the light of hope. I am aware that human beings are more than capable of defeating climate change, for we embody traits that have made us so successful in our evolution—resilience, adaptability, critical thinking, integrity, and community ethics.

I hope to raise awareness by sharing the message that everything we need to save Planet Earth is already here. As we become aware of the technology, sustainable strategies, development techniques, and all other tools that are necessary to get Earth back on track, we will rise to the occasion and promote change both together and as unique individuals.

We can get this done! The time for action is now. So let’s get started.
