- Derek Reuter along with fellow founders of A Greener Indiana Eric and Cara Stallsmith were recently awarded the 2008 Technology Innovator of the Year by the Hoosier Environmental Council. "Recognized for their determined work in fostering www.AGreenerIndiana.com and other Indiana-Specific natural heritage websites, that raise the profile of Indiana's rich natural heritage, and its major environmental challenges." - Jesse Kharbanda
Environmental activist and organizational developer, Derek Reuter has dedicated his life to making positive socio-political change in his native Indiana. He works tirelessly to improve the state’s shamefully poor environmental rankings by simultaneously taking administrative and hands-on approaches, leading the way towards increased conservation and a more sustainable approach to agriculture, industry, development, energy, and the use of our natural resources.
Derek has utilized his skills as a Certified Master Gardener and graduate of the Indiana Watershed Leadership Academy to affect change across the state in permaculture, ethnobotany, and water quality. He has worked with such influential organizations as the Heartland Communities, Citizens Action Coalition, National Park Service, and the Wabash River Heritage Corridor Commission, and has served as Watershed Coordinator for the Upper Maumee River. From this post he created and oversaw programs in education, outreach, inventory, and planning - focusing on pollution protection and ecosystem restoration of a 620 square mile area of land and water in Northeastern Indiana.
Most recently Derek has taken on a leadership role in A Greener Indiana, the state’s online network and support system for individuals, businesses, and organizations concerned with improving the state’s environmental ranking. He is currently the Northeast Indiana Resource for the Our Place: Place Based Education program hosted by the Hoosier Environmental Council and is heavily involved in the fight to save Indiana’s Cedar Creek Area, the land of his family heritage and legacy, from degradation and development.

I practice both Traditional Yang and Chen Styles of Taiji. My teachers are Master David Leung (from Hong Kong, now lives in Eugene, Oregon) and Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei (Zheng Zhou, Henan). I've studied with Grandmaster Chen for a little over 6 years now, and Master Leung 17 years. I once met and trained with Sun Jun Yu in Beijing back in 1998... it was an incredible honor. Though I don't currently practice Sun Style, I appreciate it very much.
It's great connecting with you.
Peace and balance,
Viola
I couldn't agree with you more. It is exciting to see the eco warriors connecting. Don't be disheartened. Conciousness is growing and lighting the darkest places!
