Jane K. Brundage is a recovering corporate consultant intent on applying her process analysis and technical writing skills to advancing a livable, even enjoyable world for her children and grandchildren. Twelve years ago, Jane and her husband retired to Mexico – initially to Pátzcuaro, Michoacán. Nine years ago, they moved to Coyoacán, a southern Mexico City borough. Working with her husband to translate opinion pieces by respected academics and journalists from the Mexican press for his Mexico Voices blog, Jane found herself increasingly attracted to articles about Mexico’s indigenous peoples and their connection to the land, Madre Tierra. This interest led to launching her blog, Voices for Mother Earth: ‘Calling Us to the Global Effort to Care for the Planet’s Finite Resources’. Jane now volunteers with Resilience.org.
