Stories of Starting Episode 11: Sharon Boddy, Writer, Forager

Today I welcome my dear friend Sharon Boddy. Sharon is a writer, forager, and environmental activist in Ottawa, Canada. We became BFF's in grade 7 and have been friends ever since. Sharon has specialized in writing, editing and researching environmental issues for more than 20 years. Her work has run the gamut of topics from renewable energy, energy efficiency and green buildings, to sustainable transportation, waste management and water conservation. She's also a pretty darned good maker of soup and a gardener. She's become an avid forager in the last couple years and you’ll often find her out along hydro cuts, in nearby parks or down along one of our city’s rivers harvesting garlic mustard, violets, dandelions, sumac and all manner of edible greenery. Her motto: Why buy food when nature will just give it to you for free?
