"Gina Diamond's workshop helped me truly think about realistic changes I could make. I got a big wake up call and the exercises we did inspired me to more deeply consider the effect that each of my purchases has on the world.

Instead of telling you what to do, Gina empowers people to make choices that are realistic for them, striving for a goal of doing the most good."
Emily Brosius, Greenwood Senior Center

GINA’S PICKS
