About Me
Andrew Sanford Founder and domain manager of the Earth Alternatives website, Andrew graduated with an Honours degree in Geography from Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. His interest in environmental issues, particularly biodiversity conservation, ecological economics, sustainable development, and environmental history, is the result of an unconventional path in life that has taken him to several continents and led him to hitchhike over 50,000 kilometers in North America alone. Andrew's peripheral interests include hiking, gardening, traveling, progressive politics, and trying to code HTML. He will be completing a Masters degree in Environmental Assessment in 2010 and is actively soliciting consulting work in the environmental sector.
