Amy Landisman

I’m a highly caffeinated mom of three and a green energy enthusiast. If I had my way, I would be living in a solar powered home on a quiet spot of land with a few horses and sweeping views of blue sky. I live in Connecticut with my motorcycle-loving husband, our three sweet and inspiring little girls and an ever expanding menagerie of pets. A journalist and wannabe superhero, I am excited to bring the latest in solar power and environmental concerns to my readers with simplicity and an eye on practicality. I invite you to come along for the ride walk, as my family and I strive to tread lightly on the earth and become carbon neutral.
Balance is important here. PeachyGreen is not all about me and you and the price of oil. Watch for the good people posts on Sundays, where I will take a look at international organizations and individuals bringing solar power and sustainable resources to some of the most remote and needy places on the planet. That’s the good news.
I would like to deny the bad news entirely and focus on all the great possibilities for change. But I can’t. Sorry. I cannot deny the devastation we are facing; that the human race has irresponsibly created in our race for money, oil and power. We are in over our heads in some very dirty water. So expect this mom to get a little fiery now and then. Rest assured, I will soon recover and return to being a peachy optimist.

I am an environmental and land use lawyer, living in one of the Greenest states in the U.S. - Oregon. My hometown, Bend, Oregon is a leader in the solar energy field, which is not surprising considering there are 300 days of sunshine per year! When I’m not writing or working with clients, you’ll find me outside training for a marathon, or chasing my kids and dogs around. You’ll see that my children share my concern about implementing renewable energy projects as soon as possible in my video profile here.

My perspective on the importance of alternative energy sources and the need for all of us who share this planet to conserve and protect its resources hasn’t changed much with time. I’m even more passionate about it today because time is running short. Here, I’ll be posting information and opinion on the nature and politics of climate change, renewable energy, and sustainable living. I’ll be talking about simple things we all can do to change the world, one person at a time. I’ll hope for feedback and suggestions from you.
