“The Faithful Consumer” is a monthly column written for those who want to connect faith and the environment, but in a real, practical way, not in an unworkable, idealistic way. At the end of each column look for the tip which tells you, the reader, a specific way to reduce your impact upon the environment. (Think somewhere between Hints from Heloise and Aldo Leopold.)
The column is authored by WICEC's Board Member Sarah Streed. Sarah has a B.A. from Wheaton College in Literature and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Arizona. Her book Leaving the House of Ghosts was published by McFarland & Company. She also wrote free-lance for the Wisconsin State Journal, which turned out to be good preparation for writing a monthly column. Currently, she lives in Stoughton with her husband and their children.
