balogh - A sustainability enthusiast, raised on veggie gardens, camping, hiking and a deep respect for nature in Upstate New York. Steve is currently working full-time as a healthcare practitioner, part time as a writer, and looking to reverse that ratio. After spending hours on the road, watching gas prices climb, he became interested in peak-oil and wanted to reduce his impact on the earth. He now is working to re-localize his community and help others to live energy efficient and self-sufficient lives.
