Norton Smith
I have been observing and living the progression of environmental activism as it has become more mainstream, and simultaneously the counter force of climate change deniers as they have gained in power. I have a BA in Economics from Johns Hopkins University and further work in biology and energy consumption at Southern Oregon University. I co-founded Whole Systems Recycling in Mill Valley CA with Neill Smith – setting up the first curbside pickup for recyclables in the USA, have run an organic farm, worked with solving the plastic crisis in the Pacific Gyre, and spent much time out in nature and learning from the native peoples of North America.
