Why I Care About Recycling

“I love the intersection of art and science and of people and process. I came to recycling from a social entrepreneur path. Having helped build mission-minded brands and companies, I have always wanted to help put ‘good’ to work. I am excited by the opportunity to create real ways for companies and individuals to engage in a greater good. The belief that anything is possible is both comforting and challenging but most importantly, I think possibility is the root of momentum, and who doesn’t want to help create momentum for the greater good?”

Other than when she is visiting friends and family, adventuring or taking classes, Elizabeth can be found with her family in Asheville, North Carolina.
