Ecopaparazzi Member Shastan Bertrand

Shastan started her blog Pinch Pennies Save Planet when she resolved in January to go back to a more frugal way of thinking and living to safeguard her and her family's future. Her blog is a fun and visual exploration into how to spend money wisely and feel good about being good to the planet at the same time. She focuses on the household and the changes -- some big, many small -- that we can make to help our bank accounts and our environment. She says, "I want to save money. I want to save the planet. I can do both, and so can you. We all can, which is great news, because that’s what it will take."

Ecopaparazzi Member Sarah Quist

Sarah writes about holistic health and nutrition and offers a line of organic skin care products that are free of chemicals, perfumes and synthetic ingredients. Her blog includes a reading room, articles, a product list and the story of her holistic journey. She was inspired to start her blog and business after discovering that most commercial skin care products are toxic. Sarah believes Mother Nature provides all we need to stay healthy. She says, "If you cannot safely eat the product you are using on your skin, then don't use it."

Ecopaparazzi Member Christopher Stewart

Christopher Stewart began rallying artists from around the world when he discovered how tar sands development in Alberta violently abuses the environment, the animals, and the people of this Canadian province. His blog, the Lepufology Project, uses music, storytelling and visual and performing arts to stop what has been described as "the largest industrial project in human history and likely also the most destructive." Christopher's blog addresses issues of environmental and social justice and gives a clear guidepost to artists and art-inclined people on how to participate in shutting down the project.
