Lauren Singer is author of the Zero Waste blog, Trash is for Tossers and founder of organic cleaning product company, The Simply Co.
She is an Environmental Studies graduate from NYU and former Sustainability Manager at the NYC Department of Environmental Protection, and the amount of trash that she has produced over the past three years can fit inside of a 16 oz. mason jar.
Through her blog, she has empowered millions of readers to produce less waste by shopping package-free, making their own products and refusing plastic and single-use items. She has appeared on major television programs including the "Rachel Ray Show" and "The Real." In addition to appearances, she has spoken at universities across the globe, presented at large corporations and conferences such as MasterCard, Booking.com, Trivago, the Jeju Forum, UNICEF, and the United Nations, and has given a TEDx talk, with audiences ranging from private groups of 10 to arenas of 2,000.
Her work has been profiled by New York Magazine, MSNBC, NBC, AOL, CNN, Yahoo, Fox Business, BBC and NPR, among others.
