Collin Dunn
Collin is a sustainability enthusiast living in Portland, Oregon. Growing up in the mountains of Colorado, he became involved in outdoor adventures like skiing, backpacking, hiking and mountain biking from an early age. Before coming to TreeHugger, he cut his enviro-teeth at Grist and Sustainable Style Foundation, both in Seattle, Washington.
When not busily TreeHugging, Collin is an enthusiastic cook, amateur gardener, and zealous explorer of Portland's vibrant food and beverage scene. He likes to spend time outside, learn where things come from, and once made 24 pounds of cheese for a single event (but not all in one day). Collin believes everyone can do something every single day to make the world a better place. He can be found on Google+ and can be reached at collin at treehugger dot com.
