So, What is an Eco-Monkey?

rush_group_1

An eco-monkey is anyone who is wants to make their life just a little bit ‘greener’.  We’re not talking about giving up everything you own to move into a hut made of recycled aluminum cans with only your dog for warmth on those cold winter nights (although it has been done!).  We are just trying to examine our current habits and the products that we use and find ways to alter them to reduce our carbon footprint.  It’s not going to happen overnight – we are taking babysteps and we’re inviting you to walk along with us!

We are dedicating this website to posts concerning eco-product reviews, restaurants using local produce, cool places we have been, stories of people who are doing their best to save the environment….the list goes on!

If there is a product you would like us to review, or a place you would like us to visit, let us know!  Feel free to share your own experiences in the form of comments or messages in the forum.  We hope that by sharing our experiences, we can all work a little harder to protect this planet that we live on and, in the process, improve our own quality of life.

Katie is trying to balance it all!  I was born and raised in Austin, Texas and I currently teach middle school orchestra and give private lessons on the violin.  I recently adopted my dog Chloe from Helping Hands Basset Rescue and we are having fun finding all the places dogs can go in Austin.  I am a vegetarian and am on a mission to find the best iced soy chai in town.

Josh was born in Austin, Texas. I have lived in Australia, New Zealand, Scotland and France. I have also travelled all over Australasia, South-East Asia, Africa, North America, Europe, and many points in between. Camping is another activity that i enjoy along with anything that keeps me outdoors.  I am a musician who is happiest pickin’ guitar and I also play a few other instruments to various degrees. As a student of music I am studying on my own as well as pursuing a degree in Music Education.
