Through sharing her scoop – who, what, when, where, why, how and benefits of eco choices, Sylvia Hoehns Wright is recipient of the Turning America from Eco-weak to Eco-chic Award sponsored by Hines Horticulture, Project Evergreen and Today’s Garden Center magazine.
 
                         

An advocate for sustainability, Wright challenges all to ‘green’ America’s landscapes, creating a legacy of healthier urban/suburban communities. For, the future holds a unique opportunity: the opportunity not to just be a caretaker but a person who cares!

Be the person who sets a Climate, not merely adjusts to a preexisting one; creates an encouraging Attitude, not practices ambivalence; is Receptive to people without losing sight of personal needs; and demonstrates Empathy for others while keeping problems in perspective.

Instead of letting others define life’s role, acquire eco knowledge. Become known as the person who 'CAREs' – enables conservation, accountability, recovery and eco-efficiency!

 

     

     The Wright Scoop - 
                           Sylvia Hoehns Wright  

“Initially," says Wright, "media referred to my strategies as the by-product of a naturalist. Then, when I contributed to state-wide Virginia media publications, I became known as eco-wise. After speaking and publishing in the DC area, my work was referred to as eco- savvy.  And, through participating in the Green Festival held in DC and acquiring a national award, I picked up the label, eco-chic. Still, regardless of term used as long as people hear my message – strive to achieve ‘ultimate green’, I’m happy.”
