Marc McGinnes: One of the Sustainability Movement’s Top Contributors

Part of the beauty of attending talks like the one environmentalist Annie Leonard (“The Story of Stuff”) gave last night lies not on the stage, but rather in the audience.

I sat in the front row (for some strange reason unappealing to most people), and right next to me was Marc McGinnes, one of the top contributors to the sustainability movement over the last 40 years. We chatted amiably for about 20 minutes before Annie took the stage.

Wow. I’m so glad I didn’t miss this opportunity.
