Anne Marie Miller is the founder and CEO of Sustainable Waste Design, a New York-based company that integrates waste disposal, environmental protection, energy production, and material recycling to create closed-loop economic systems. Taking inspiration from WECAN’s 2013 International Women’s Earth and Climate Summit (IWECI), Miller believes that women, who make 85% of purchasing decisions in the United States, are key to engaging in just, compassionate, living economies like the ones her business helps to create.
