Gordon Peabody works as director of Safe Harbor’s multiple programs. He also spends up to six months each year living aboard a wooden sailboat. “Living in an intimate embrace with the primal elements offers a unique perspective on our natural resources. Communities and natural resources need each other to survive. We believe resource areas should be seen as systems and the causes of environmental problems should be considered as part of the solution. Thinking more sustainably, creates more sustainable solutions. We can all do a better job redirecting our own energy and we can support better ideas by voting with our dollars when we shop.”
“Our web site’s Educational section is significant. I encourage everyone to explore around and take advantage of the learning opportunities. Being informed on a topic helps us make better decisions. I believe the best way to protect environmental resources is through education. We all have something to learn and we all have something to teach. Our door is open to new ideas. Feel free to share yours with us.” gordonpeabody@gmail.com
