About the Presenter || Christina Yesbeck is an RVA native, an avid outdoor enthusiast, yoga instructor, and energy consultant. Her gratitude for the natural world developed in the five years she spent living in southwest Virginia. While there, she was confronted first hand with environmental atrocities such as mountain top removal and pipeline construction. The destruction of surrounding ecosystems and resistance of communities that were directly affected spoke to her morals and illuminated the idea that there was something wrong with the way we are getting our energy -- not only environmentally, but its social and economic impacts as well. Christina's goal is to bring to light the behind-the-scenes impacts of how we power our homes.

Christina believes that education and action are what will guide us to a greener tomorrow. Her goal is to promote intentional communities that thrive off of values like social responsibility, contribution, support, and integrity. Are we taking responsibility for our lifestyles? Are we informed? Do our actions align with our values? And can we do more?
