Welcome to our on-line magazine GreenLegals, the brainchild of KJ Collins and Rita Watson.

KJ Collins - GreenLegals Co-Founder and Publisher

I am a lawyer who graduated from Boston College Law School more years ago than I care to remember. My work has taken me to law firms and corporations with specialties that have included:  environmental law, bankruptcy law, food & drug law and commercial transactions.

I believe that we are now living in a green world.  So, companies must not only look at the traditional factors in decision-making such as the bottom line and return on investment, but they must also look at “green” from the perspective of money and the energy and environmental issues that affect our quality of life.

My focus at GreenLegals is to gather business news, analyze legal issues, highlight renewable technologies, and provide insight into strategies that businesses are using in this brave new Green World.

Rita Watson  – GreenLegals Co-Founder and Executive Editor

I am thrilled to be part of a magazine that captures breaking news and also presents in depth case studies.  Basically I have an incurable addiction to the written word and accuracy in reporting.  My career  began at The New York Times, took me to Yale School of Medicine, where I served in psychology as director of education and in psychiatry as director of policy.

My graduate degree from Yale is in public health.  As such, you can understand my concerns about clean air and water, renewable energy, and life in a green world.

Today I am a daily syndicated blogger, a monthly Sunday editorial page columnist for The  Providence Journal - writing about relationships - and an associate fellow at Yale’s Ezra Stiles College.  If you wish to get totally lost in my biography, books published, and life in academia you can find all of that on www.ritawatson.com.

But news of the environment changes daily - why spend time reading about my past?  We have a  future before us and each one of us is a stakeholder.

A note about our baby - our green brain child is very young and we would love to read your comments.   Unlike a traditional blog, there is one comment section at the navigation bar.
