Chef Marty Rich
The first five years of my life were spent in a three story triplex in Roxbury, Massachusetts, a predominately black area of Boston. Although we lived close to Franklin Park, most of my world consisted of city streets, vacant lots and a blacktop school ground in our neighborhood. Then one day, I recall packing up the car and saying goodbye to my cousins who lived on the third floor, and my brother and I went for a very long drive (35 miles) with my parents to our new home in the country. I still remember when we arrived and got out of the car, slightly panic strickened. There was a house directly across the street and that was the only neighbor’s house you could see!
There was a lot of land to explore for two young boys and it included a cart path that went down into the woods and connected to a farmer’s cow pasture and eventually led to the Town River. We learned about electric fences, milking cows, baling hay, fishing, driving tractors and planting gardens on the Foye’s Farm.
Ecollo - Your Daily Eco
We started Ecôllo wa-a-a-ay back in September 2007 in an earnest attempt to reach out to everyday eco-conscious people (like you!). Within a few short months our humble little site was on the path to successfully reaching hundreds of thousands of regular people looking to do just a little something to make a difference.
There is a lot of doom and gloom out there when it comes to the state of our planet, and to be honest it’s a bit of a downer. After all, what can we do to stop global warming? Should we build mud huts and live off of organic radishes and walnuts until someone else figures this thing out? There has got to be a better way.
We promise that we’ll try not to be too political, scientific, or preachy. Our goal is to be equal parts informative, entertaining, interesting and funny... with a little bit of opinion thrown in for good measure.
Ecôllo is just starting out and we’d appreciate your help in growing Ecôllo to its fullest potential. You can do that by visiting often, posting your comments and by sending us your own stories.
Most importantly, if you come across a good idea, try it! If it works, tell a friend. One idea at a time and one change at a time and together we can make a difference.

UK farming contributed £5.8 billion to our economy in 2007 (as measured by Gross Value Added at basic prices). It uses around three quarters of this country's land area, and employs over half a million people. One of our major tasks is to help this vital industry to operate as efficiently as possible.
