SUMMARY:Todd Paglia\, CEO Stand.Earth: Delivering large-scale solutions to climate and environmental problems worldwide
DESCRIPTION:Bird\, Tree & Garden Club lunchtime lecture series \nWhen Todd Paglia joined Stand.earth in 1999\, he had a vision of transforming the environmental impact of something so ubiquitous that it’s often forgotten – paper. He saw that major corporations in the office supply and catalog industries were purchasing and selling millions of tons of paper with no accountability for\, or even knowledge of\, the environmental devastation that paper caused. As Executive Director of Stand.earth\, Todd can be credited with transforming the paper policies of multi-billion-dollar Fortune 500 companies\, including Staples\, Office Depot\, Williams-Sonoma\, Dell\, Victoria’s Secret\, 3M and many more. Under Todd’s leadership\, Stand.earth has saved more than 65 million acres of endangered forests. In addition\, recycled pulp mills have seen major companies requesting more sustainable fiber as a result of Stand’s campaigns. \nIn 2023 under Todd’s leadership Stand was named one of the world’s most innovative companies by Fast Company Magazine and Stand won the 2023 Keeling Curve Prize for innovation in climate advocacy.
