Living in New York City, Olivia finds trees hard to come by and prefers the relative ease and splinter-free safety of playground jungle gyms and municipally maintained monkey bars. Urban backdrop aside, Olivia cares deeply for our planet’s plight. As Eco-Chick’s Managing Editor, she aims to expose and promote “greener options.” Her ultimate goal: to inspire responsible choices. In addition to Eco-Chick, Olivia writes for green-living authority Treehugger.com and Hearst Magazines’ TheDailyGreen.com Her weekly syndicated column Enviro-Mental: Going Green without Going Crazy is one of the most popular blogs on the Huffington Post, repeatedly breaking over 80,000 unique page views.
