Paula is a working mother of 2 wonderful kids, a toddler and a teenager, who wants to leave the planet in the best possible condition for her kids. Her main focus in life is her family. She believes that living green is a lifestyle, not just an idea. Paula thinks that everyone can live a greener life through a series of tiny steps. It doesn't have to be one giant leap -- just tiny steps towards improvement by many people can really make a huge impact on a global scale. She is intrigued with the idea of upcycling art, how a change in perspective can take an object from the trash pile and move it into the treasure pile. She is also very interested in sustainable living for average families and simple ways to live greener lives. She wants to teach her children environmental responsibility and respect for the planet.
