Elena: Growing up in the city, I was very fortunate in being able to also spend a great deal of time on our family farm in rural Alabama. My grandfather, a retired farmer, took the time to teach me and my younger siblings how to manage and care for our land. We learned how to fully utilize everything and waste as little as possible. I decided to draw upon my "rurban" (rural-urban hybrid) upbringing to share green tips for the everyday person that also save money.
