Rachel Collins

An NYC based social media marketing consultant, but her passion for the environment goes back to her days as an elementary school student choosing the subject of her biography report as Rachel Carson (because having similar names was obviously the most important criteria.

Her biggest environmental passions currently include wanting to transition to organic, regenerative farming (thanks Rachel Carson), the rise of plastics in the oceans (reusable bags are awesome), and climate change (we can make a difference!). When she’s not writing on all things eco, you can find Rachel re-watching the entirety of 30 Rock, listening to the Hamilton soundtrack for the 500th time, and lamenting over another loss from her Cincinnati Bengals.
