Why I Care About Recycling

“It breaks my heart to see perfectly good materials going to waste, many after just a short use. It takes lots of energy, labor, money, and often damage to the Earth to create those materials. Nature doesn’t do this, so why should we?“

Personal Passions and Interests

When she’s not home baking or cooking, Asami is out exploring the outdoors of the Pacific Northwest or catching up with friends.
