How cool is this? I'm the Green Goddess of Gainesville! Here's a note from our friends at VisitGainesville.com:

"On a personal/consumer side, we brown thumbs in all-things-eco-friendly - can read/study and learn from a cool book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Green Living -- written by Trish Riley www.trishriley.com – a nationally recognized author and investigative reporter, who actually, we’re proud to say, is a fellow Gainesville resident – therefore we unabashedly and of course without her permission, but we hope with her blessing…claim her as our as our very own Green Goddess of Gainesville (and beyond…..)." I'll admit to enjoying a few lunches with the blog author, Marcheta Keefer, tourism marketing manager for Visit Gainesville... Thanks, Keeta!
