Stephanie Blumenthal is a graphic designer who worked in publishing in New York City. In 1989 moved to the Berkshires, where she raised two boys and continued to work in publishing, remotely. After viewing An Inconvenient Truth in 2006, she formed a local environmental group, Green for a Change, which campaigned to build awareness about the environmental problems associated with single use plastic bags and disposable water bottles, paving the way for Great Barrington to ban single use plastic bags in 2014. Green For a Change morphed into Sheffield Saves, which has coordinated road-side clean-ups, organized repair workshops, set up an art cabinet for folks to donate to and take free art supplies, and contributes a bimonthly column for the Sheffield Times.
