The meeting will feature New Mexico Recycling Coalition Executive Director Sarah Pierpont who will present on some higher level plastics recycling both at the national and state level.

Pierpont started her career in the recycling field as the coordinator of the Recycle Santa Fe Art Festival in 2005 while she was also working to keep forest trimmings out of landfills as part of a Collaborative Forest Restoration Project.

As executive director of the New Mexico Recycling Coalition, Pierpont is inspired by the less obvious benefits that recycling brings to communities, such as economic development, jobs, community building and quality of life.

Pierpont holds a degree in geology from Colorado College and a master’s equivalent in geography from UCLA. She lives in Santa Fe with her husband and two daughters.
