What inspired you to want to work with Re-Nuble?
The inspiration for me to work at Re-Nuble was a desire to work alongside other great minds to develop solutions to our planet's biggest and complex problems like climate change, sustainability etc.
Do you have a green thumb and how do you practice it?
I don’t inherently have a green thumb. Through trial and error, curiosity and a passion for learning I have become more fluent in the language of plants. Along the way I’ve learned it is the base language of life on earth.
What does a Sustainable NYC mean to you and how do you envision Re-Nuble fitting into that vision?
A sustainable NYC is a green NYC. It’s a place where the infrastructure intertwines plants, people, shelter, commerce, and energy. It’s a place that honors the finite resources available to us and capitalizes on the limitless possibilities embodied in the people. The people that make this one of the greatest cities in the world.
How do you practice aspects of a circular economy/sustainability at home?
I’m a huge fan of the “Buy Nothing” movement whose motto is “give something, get something, build community”. My household regularly gives away items that no longer serve us. We are the recipients of other people’s items large and small. We really value others getting joyful or practical use things that would otherwise end up in a landfill. This combined with regular recycling is at the core of our basic sustainability and circular economy.
What would you like to see Re-Nuble do differently for cities that other companies or brands have failed to do so or have not invested the efforts in creating?
I see Re-Nuble becoming a real-world alchemy model to inspire future generations. The saying “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” is so fitting here. What many see as waste can be turned into real value. Ag tech is just the beginning of this paradigm shift. I’d like to see Re-Nuble green New York City, from rooftops to subway stations to waterways. An urban paradise.
