I’m Boris, ‘spokes-boar’ for 500 BC.

Count on me to sniff out eco-truths and challenge the status-quo.

For example, talk about ‘saving the planet’ makes me want to gore something. It’s too big, too hairy (a good thing in boars, bad thing in
“to-do” lists.)

    Most people want to know 3 things...
  1. What does “green” really mean?
  2. Why should I care?
  3. How do I do it?

We think simple is better. Small steps make a difference.
