Jump for Joy!!! YES…. we are giving back to the community and earth as we speak!!! Jschomaker is now “green” and using solar!

 

For those that know me on a personal level, you know I LOVE to support the environment when I can…. it’s not always easy or convenient. However, I have always been interested in anything that makes life better.  Eco- Tourism was something I studied in college.

After my trip to Costa Rica last year I realized the impact of going “green” and Eco- Tourism.  It’s a MUST for the future generations.  I saw that you could get nice accommodations and hot showers even with solar!

Then I lived with my kids in maui this summer.  We lived in an A frame dwelling for a while, visited a vegan “off the grid” community.  I just fell “in love” all over again.  See blog and facebook for pictures.

So, I decided I could do something about this in my own life and own community.  Jschomaker Photography has moved to a  “green” and solar dwelling!  We LOVE it!  Our small way of giving back!

I was soooo blessed to help others and that is what HELPED me survive the darkest time for me.

RANGEFINDER has always been a source I have looked to as a photographer.  To be included in such a prestigious magazine is a DREAM of mine!  This is a fantastic article and I am so THANKFUL especially to DR SUDHA for contacting me and allowing my eyes to be open to so much as well as my lenz!
