I have watched people learn new habits.” Ms. Paul started out with a passion for wildlife conservation spending two years as a volunteer for the Bronx zoo and studying at Columbia University’s Center for Environmental Research and Conservation. “I realized that much habitat destruction around the world is directly related to our consumer needs. Education is key to changing people’s attitudes about consumption. My grandparents grew up in the Ogden area during the Great Depression, and people of that era would be shocked by what we throw away now,” says Paul. “As Americans earning more disposable income, we developed more disposable consumption habits. Now that the national economy is struggling, people are looking for ways to return to valuing simplicity while supporting our local economies.” Myrberg and Paul will have a Sustainability booth at the Old Town Eden Farmers and Artists Market this summer. The booth will be a REDUCING, REUSING and RECYCLING Education Station for the community and various recycling events will be offered throughout the summer.
