Anything but your standard, run-of-the-mill baby boomer…returned to college full time in Sustainability Studies, Environmental Humanities Degree at Stony Brook University, NY; graduated Magna cum Laude, May 2012. You know, the year of (your favorite 2012 metaphor here) predictions. Having marched on D.C., the very first Earth Day, who knew that a fast forward a few decades would find us on the verge of collapse of every natural system on our planet? Welcome to 21st Century, Earth.
Having completed extensive university research on alternative energy, coal, fracking AKA “natural gas,” nuclear power, green city planning, transit oriented development, sustainable business, green architecture, ancient agricultural practices, amongst many topics, it was a scathing college report on Food Sovereignty and GMO’s, that prompted one of her professors to insist, “This isn’t a report, Kathleen, this is your mission!” It is, indeed. Harmonizing this with a treasure of experience from work in high tech corporate sales/ training, the film and TV industry, and culinary/nutrition passion, Furey's back at the environmental education and activism that many of us baby boomers left unattended a few decades back. This time, she intends to get it right, and give her all, skippering, crewing and diving in to heal our relationship with Mother Earth, and All Our Relations, no matter what it takes. Blogging, tweeting, and ever-researching, she's devoted to environmental education outreach and advocacy. cleanfoodearth.blogspot.com  - Clean Food Earth Woman. Hey, We’ve All Gotta Eat!
