Jane Poynter: Biosphere 2

British-born Jane Poynter is a TV host, biosphere 2 crewmember, sustainability consultant, author, speaker, and technology company president. She has conducted experiments on the International Space Station, worked on projects to mitigate climate change, dived with sharks, raced motorcycles, and flown in zero gravity. Two years sealed inside the first-ever man-made biosphere gave Jane Poynter a particular perspective on sweet potatoes, carbon dioxide, sunlight, booze, policy, Mars, business, health, the new green revolution, and just about everything. Now she's turned her inimitable energy and passion toward sustainability and living green. She focuses on what it means to be a biospheric species and what we can do to save the planet. (You may think humans can be greedy, but they're nothing compared to microbes!)
