Lifelong zero-waster and recycler, when she is not found teaching members of her community about the importance of composting as a way to lessen their environmental impact or advising her local County Commissioners as a Sustainability Cabinet Member, Natasha Dyer serves as Acting Executive Director & Program Manager for the SWEEP Standard, a nationally-based solid waste environmental consultancy that helps local governments and the resource recovery industry to realize its goals in waste generation reduction and a movement towards sustainable materials management and circular economies–thus also helping them to lessen their own environmental impacts.
