Who's That Girl? A Little About Me

My name is Lynne Mason, and I'm the brawn behind electric-cars-are-for-girls.com.

(Um, there is currently no brain on staff, but applications are always welcome; )

Electric-cars-are-for-girls.com is now based in Lincoln City, Oregon. We used to be in Bremerton, Washington - but, well...we moved to the beach.

The reason behind electric-cars-are-for-girls.com is His Royal Cuteness, Gavin Mason.

He's seven years old now (I took this picture a few years back), and I couldn't help wondering...

What will the world look like when he's my age?

• Is he going to be able to hike in the temperate rain forests of the Olympic Peninsula, as we love to do?
• Will there still be eagles nesting in the trees along Puget Sound, or will they die from pollution and food shortage?
• Will there still be glaciers in Alaska when he grows up? Will Polar bears be extinct?
• When he's had a rough week and he needs to recharge by going out alone to the wilderness...will there be any left for him, or will there be nothing but clear-cuts and theme parks?
• Is he going to have to spend his whole life cleaning up after his parents and grandparents?

So I took one look at that face and couldn't refuse to do anything possible to make his world at least as wonderful as the one I grew up with. As difficult a task as "saving the Earth" seemed, I had to roll up my sleeves and get to work...

Changing one wasteful habit of my own at a time.

Persuading one person at a time to break their own wasteful habits and make responsible choices DAILY.

Tackling one environmental challenge at a time.

Doing SOMETHING, even if it doesn't seem like much. Something is better than nothing, and every little bit helps.

I believe that together, one person at a time, one right decision at a time, you and I will make a world Gavin will be proud to call home.
