We live in exciting times. President Obama has repeatedly declared his intention to “repower” America by cutting our dependence on foreign oil, investing in renewable energy and green jobs, and creating a new infrastructure that will rehabilitate our economy and pave a path to continued prosperity. Our mayor here in New York, Michael Bloomberg, has launched an ambitious plan to green the city called PlanNYC which is already up and running in the five boroughs. And individuals all across the country are joining their neighbors to take steps to reduce their impact on the environment.
I came to Green Irene by a rather circuitous route. While a performer with Blue Man Group (I’m an actor by trade, and have been performing with them going on ten years now), I helped to found their environmental committee, finding ways to reduce energy consumption, create less waste, and inspire our audiences to follow suit. This led me to found the Green Theater Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to inspiring and helping theaters to go green, and through which I have begun consulting theaters on comprehensive green action plans. It grew out of my passionate belief that going green is not merely a way of soothing our worried consciences, but also a means of saving money, improving our short- and long-term health, reviving our economy, and ensuring a sustainable future for the generations that will follow us.
Green Irene is a wonderful way for me to turn that belief into action. I’m very excited to be able to work with Green Irene to help families in the five boroughs join their neighbors as they start to green their lives. I’m equally excited to talk to families about local environmental issues that affect all of us. In particular, New York faces the challenging problems of air pollution and rising sea levels, as well as a dearth of open green space where we can go to reconnect with nature. Luckily, the city’s native pluck and determination will undoubtedly lead us to unconventional, far-thinking solutions to many of these problems, and hopefully lead us back to a time of peaceful prosperity.
If you like somewhere in the five boroughs and are interested in a Green Home Makeover, give me a ring! I’ll be excited to help work with you to create a green action plan — one that will not only save you money, but improve your family’s short-and long-term health, ensure your safety, reduce your environmental footprint on the Earth.

Need to green your home or business and not sure where to start? Would you like to live toxin free with improved indoor air and water quality? As your local Green Irene Eco-Consultant, I offer practical solutions without sacrificing your lifestyle or comfort. I can show you ways to lower your carbon footprint and your utility bills, as well as discuss your local concerns.
I’ve always been an environmentalist, but recently became aware of how health and the environment are so closely intertwined. Personal care products, food, water, and indoor air quality issues were addressed at home in short order. Non-toxic and organic items that won’t harm me or my family are now used.
Water, energy, and gas are closely guarded and saved, I’ve become a “locavore”, and the importance of wildlife and wilderness are being taught to my family. I want this world to be a better one for my family to inherit, full of wild spaces and with clean water and air.
If you need help “greening” your life, contact Linda Tarr in the Little Rock area for more information about Green Home or Office Makeovers, Go Green Workshops, and EZ Bulb Swapouts. Topics include: energy conservation, energy efficient lighting, water conservation, water purity, toxic free living, indoor air quality, recycling and waste reduction, and carbon footprint reduction.
I’m excited to be a part of Green Irene, and very happy to help you live an eco-friendly, toxic-free, budget-wise life!
