We know from countless studies, personal experience, and common sense that negative environmental messages aren’t helpful. Most people are hesitant to change their lifestyle for a vague ‘greater good.’ Besides, the very concept of change is scary. And, contrary to popular belief, concepts such as energy efficiency and renewable power don’t necessarily require any lifestyle changes. And as we participant more in the growing sustainability movement, we felt this huge missing gap in the on-line world for honest, balanced, fun and helpful information. As a result, we started Resource Robin. Although we have outside experts for many category, the person at the heart of the website is Robin Pharo – Resource Robin.
