About the Site
Focus Organic.com was purchased with the intent of creating a website based on organic information and items. While doing research for the site, however, I decided I really wanted to write not just about organic topics, but about more general eco-friendly topics as well. There is so much to learn and to write about that I couldn't leave out so much!
My name is Stefanie, and I started Focus Organic.com. I am currently trying to live a more green life myself, and I hope to share what I learn with the visitors of this site, and to also learn from the visitors. In learning to be more eco-friendly, we can better ourselves, our lives, and the planet. Implementing even just small changes into your daily living can help to make a big difference, and my hope is that, with this site, you may learn something new and decide to make your life more green, as well.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to comment on the front page or use the form on the contact page.

Andrew Slater is Stefanie's husband. He's gotten into the green lifestyle with Stefanie since Focus Organic was started, but he is especially interested in it's influence on the electronics world - he's a bit of a gadget geek. You might see him around the site here and there, mostly to talk about anything gadget related, and being mentioned by Stefanie.

Mike Lieberman does his best to live a simple life in a complex city. He was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, went to school in Philly and moved back to NYC in the end of 2007. Lieberman supports the green movement, but thinks a lot of the information out there is too complex for people to digest and execute in their daily lives. His web sites show people how to become more "green" without totally changing their lives - UrbanOrganicGardener and SimplyRawRecipes. You can follow him around the web under the user name CanarsieBK and check out his full portfolio of sites on CanarsieBK.com.
