Ceres

As a teenager on Long Island, New York, Mindy Lubber became frustrated that the town's civic leadership did not have a recycling plan, so she started one herself. Today, the town recycles nearly 4,000 tons of material per year. After earning both an M.B.A. and J.D., Mindy became executive director of Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group and later started the National Environmental Law Center. In 1991, she launched Green Century Capital Management, the first U.S. mutual fund company to be wholly owned by nonprofit public interest groups. A founding board member of Ceres, Inc., Mindy became the organization's president in 2003.
