Sustainable Catholics Present Stand Up

Soulful Sustainability

My name is Greg Martin and I live in Portland, OR and I am a life long Catholic looking for a home in God's spiritual World. I have been involved in Sustainble concerns for over 10 years as a green builder...but I am looking for more. I am looking to feel in real tangible ways what it means to be sustainable from People all over this world. I want to help facilitate a community of folks Catholic or not that want to talk about Sustainability and maybe help stimulate some movement in our hearts, heads and hands. Have been involved in some many different things I have learned that living a "soulful sustainable life" is a lot of work, failings, honesty, but most importantly being open to new things. I felt the wind blowing and here I am blogging for the 1st time.

4 Years ago I helped organize with many others a Festival called the Muddy Boot Organic Festival at our Catholic parish in SE Portland. MuddyBoot.org. I learned much from this and want to help connect others to do more.

I am interested in hearing about why people care about living more simply or sustainably?
