A Must Read

The current climate trends are more than concerning. The need to educate our readers on what it means to lower your carbon footprint so we leave a sustainable earth behind for the generations to follow is paramount.

In this issue, our contributing writers stretched themselves to become educated on sustainability to share a message that can change our lives.

I am more than proud to share this issue with our readers.

Our cover stor y featuring the co-founders of ChargerHelp! is beyond inspirational. The path each of these ladies, Kameale C. Terry and Evette Ellis, took that led to building a multimillion-dollar cleantech company —that trains and employs community members to be the certied technicians who meet the need of consumers seeking to charge their electric vehicles— encourages you to bring your gifts to your community.

Make sure you read their story.

Our Spring 2022 issue serves as a guide for those seeking to live environmentally-friendly lives. As Southern Californians, we live in a state leading the way in creating sustainable communities. While the legislation will encourage citizens to be eco-friendly, we must make a daily choice to reduce our carbon footprint.

We hope you enjoy the pages of this issue and emerge environmentally aware toward living a sustainable life for you and future generations.

Suite Sustainability,

Angela
