Linda believes the reuse economy isn’t just about keeping millions of sneakers out of landfills—it’s about creating opportunity, reducing waste and showing every step can make a difference. Through her writing and creative campaigns, she connects people to stories of resilience, community and global good.

For Linda sustainability is personal. It’s about making today’s choices better for tomorrow—for organizations, the planet we all share and global communities.
