GREEN VOICE LIFESTYLE
Lifestyle Editor Introduction Letter

Dear Green Voice Community,
It’s with both excitement and gratitude that I introduce myself as your new Lifestyle Editor for the Green Voice newsletter. My name is Gabby Pogel, and while I may be stepping into the role today, my journey with Pittsburgh Earth Day and the Green Voice feels like it’s been unfolding for much longer than the five years it actually spans.
My journey with Pittsburgh Earth Day began in January 2020, as an intern helping to craft digital content, research local vendors, and produce events like the Sustainable Business Breakfast and the Ecolution Fashion Gala with visionary Ronda Zegarelli. Just a few weeks in, the world changed, and the pandemic led us to rethink how we connect and share knowledge.
In the face of uncertainty, we saw an opportunity to create a digital space for actionable sustainability tips, from eco-friendly organic gardening to plant-based cooking and green business practices. The Green Voice newsletter was born out of a shared desire to empower individuals, families, and businesses to make a positive environmental impact. It’s been a privilege to work with incredible longtime contributors like Doug Oster and Natalie Benciavenga, just to name a few, and I’m deeply honored to follow Andrea Bosco Stehle’s remarkable leadership as editor.
I’m grateful to Ronda Zegarelli, Gary Kalinosky, Jaime Moore, Anthony Alfonsi, and our new Business Editor, Rebecca Lucore, for their trust and collaboration as we continue to share the stories, tips, and innovations that inspire us all to live more sustainably.
Thank you for being part of this community.
Warmly,
Gabby Pogel
Lifestyle Editor, Green Voice Newsletter
