Trailblazer of the month: Barbara Mullally Pauly

Barbara Mullally Pauly was energy-minded before the issue came into public consciousness. "I’ve always been a committed environmentalist," Barbara says. For 10 years she lived on a farm, with just a windmill to provide energy. "We used power very selectively, only running appliances and using lighting when we really needed them."
