Employing
“Common Sense” Principles for a More Positive, Permanent Future
PHILADELPHIA, PA
-- Melissa Miles shared one word when describing her first job out of college –
“awful!”
An
environmental engineer at an oil refinery, she spent hours after work freeing
geese stuck in oil pits that weren't supposed to be left open and driving them
to a bird rescue in Delaware.
“It
was perhaps the best example of the worst we've done, but a really good experience for me to see that first hand,” said the Philly native who has
dedicated her life’s work to permaculture design, ecological restoration, green
building and environmental activism.
Happy Belated Earth Day!
