Welcome! I'm Rachel, the activist formerly known as Mommy Greenest, and I created this blog in 2008 as a resource for healthier living with less judgment. Because you shouldn't have to be a scientist to make better choices, right? I'm a former journalist and co-founder of the sustainable beauty and fashion site EcoStiletto, which inspired The Big List of Things That Suck; I also published The Mommy Greenest Guide to Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond. I was the Executive Director of the nonprofits The 5 Gyres Institute and Healthy Child Healthy World and appeared as a sustainable lifestyle expert on "The TODAY Show" and "CNN Headline News," among others. Oh, and have you checked out my TEDx talks: Trash is Ruining Recycling and Can One Straw Change The World? Today, I'm a mother of three, and the founder of Lincoln Sarnoff Consulting. Let's keep in touch!
