Get to know Streeter Michael Greenberg! We’re mixing things up a bit by starting out with a round of rapid fire good!
Good quote? “The best day to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best day is today” — Chinese Proverb
Good band? The Maccabeats ;)
Good gift? The best gift I got this past season was a bag of sand for when you’re stuck on ice in the car. I’m looking at it right now! A big gallon of sand!
Good place to visit? Northern California
Good word? Hypnopompic — like when someone has hallucinations only when they’re about to wake up from sleep; the parallel is hypnogogic.
Good food? Camembert. I got a hunk of it as a gift along with the gallon of sand.
Good St. is about making giving a part of our daily routines… What is a quirky daily routine of yours?
Do I have a quirky daily routine… I don’t think I have one! I make calls to friends and family on my drive to and from work every day.
What’s one GOOD change you’d like to see in the world?
Enhanced access to specialized mental health care. I wish that more people had access to therapy, and I wish that more people took advantage of therapy. And that there were better systems in place to help people to get the specific type of help they need. That’s one of my goals.
What is a cause or organization you’re particularly passionate about? And why?
Bone marrow donation, because that represents a situation where you have a very easy answer to a problem, and it’s just a matter of getting the message out. We don’t need new research. We just need people to act to solve the problem.
On Good St. we believe that small change (like our daily quarters) can lead to big change… can you think of a particular experience in your life that you believe changed you, whether in a big or small way?
When chance meetings turn into something bigger… A chance meeting when I was in high school started me on ten years in the developmental disabilities world.
