Stacy Savage, AKA “The Texas Trash Talker”, was born and raised under the brown, hazy skies and rotten egg smells of the Texas oil and gas industry where both her parents worked at oil refineries for a collective 75 years. She understands the toll pollution takes on communities that are not economically positioned to fight backyard polluters and has chosen a career path in sustainability to stand up for quality of life. Stacy has been a “recycling nerd” for over 22 years and played a pivotal role in passing 2 key pieces of statewide legislation requiring free, responsible manufacturer take-back recycling of computers (passed, 2007) and televisions (passed, 2011). She also assisted in the passage of 4 local recycling ordinances in Austin.
In 2013, Mrs. Savage founded Zero Waste Strategies LLC, an environmental consulting firm that specializes in waste reduction.
