Tim Richards is a 21 year old native of Mount Airy, MD. He is a rising Senior majoring in Philosophy at Haverford College. He was inspired to start Citizens for a Green Mount Airy, a grassroots environmental education group, in January 2007 while contemplating the best way to help solve the world’s environmental problems. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to promote sustainability, starting right at home in his community. He is most passionate about sustainability in the areas of food, energy, community and economy.

Mr. Richards took a semester off starting in January 2008 to work full time on promoting and achieving sustainability to help get his ideas off the ground and implement his visions into realities.

Mr. Richards feels that there is no greater challenge facing the human species than making civilization sustainable and that the multiple ecological crises that we face demand immediate action for sustainable solutions using all of our intellectual, economic, scientific, technological, political, and social capacity. He feels that after all, it’s a sustainable future or no future at all.

In addition to continuing his efforts with CGMA, Tim is serving on the Board of Directors developing the first annual Maryland Heartland Sustainable Living fair, a green living/ environmental education. He also serves on the town's Beautification commission.
