I thought today might be a good day for an introduction post, now that the community's growing larger.

I'm sasha_davidovna both here and on LiveJournal. I've been an environmentalist for basically my whole life. (I'll be 27 next month.) My dad works for the US Park Service and we always did a lot of camping and hiking when I was growing up, plus my parents always had a huge organic garden, so I got exposed really early to a lot of environmental and sustainability issues.

My main interests are in wildlife/habitat conservation and restoration, sustainable agriculture and development, and climate change, but I am a pretty all purpose environmentalist, really. I'm currently a SAHM to my daughter but in my spare time, I write a lot of articles for various websites on environmental and sustainability issues both well known and obscure. As a lifelong Nebraskan, one of my major passions is prairie restoration and conservation. I'm a big supporter of a modified version of the Buffalo Commons idea proposed in the 80's by the Poppers, preferably also incorporating wind energy.

Feel free to ask questions if you'd like to know more, and if you'd like, please share your own environmental backgrounds and interests so we can get to know each other a bit better.
