Welcome! For 8 years (2012-2021) the “Making Ripples” column was published in the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Sunday newspaper’s What’s Up insert as well as the Fayetteville Free Weekly. Its goal was to promote awareness of sustainable living and making a difference (“making ripples”) in the world. A click on any of the categories in our archive below will expand to a list of columns on various topics.  Thank you so much for reading, and contributing your own ripples, laughter and ideas over the years!
