Program and Speaker Bio

Jeffrey Barrie, chief executive officer of the Tennessee Environmental Council, will bring us up to date on what’s happening across the state and beyond in recycling—both in collection programs and the markets—including the impact COVID-19 has had on the environment and sustainability efforts as well as some successes highlighting sustainability through recycling. His presentation is titled “Recycle Tennessee.”

     You don’t have to be a Facebook user to view the video. If you are on Facebook, please invite others to the event.

 

Barrie has been a staunch advocate of sustainability for his entire professional career, which he launched in 1993 after graduating from UCLA with a B.A. in Environmental Studies. Ever since, Barrie has applied his love of filmmaking towards the cause of environmental solutions and derives great pleasure in making a difference in this field. He has produced award-winning feature documentaries on the value of Environmental Education (Generation Earth — 1995), the importance of preserving the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (Arctic Quest — 1999), and the benefits of energy efficiency, conservation and renewable power (Kilowatt Ours — 2008), in addition to producing ten short documentaries on various topics related to sustainability. He has leveraged the power of effective documentary storytelling combined with grassroots organizing and public strategies to lead to positive changes in the world. Barrie has worked for TEC since 2014 and served as CEO since 2019. 

Tennessee Environmental Council was founded in 1970 as an umbrella organization that would tie together many different organizations with diverse, but common priorities into focused advocacy in the state legislature on behalf of Tennessee’s environment. Those groups were the League of Women Voters, the Junior League of Nashville, the Tennessee Lung Association, the Tennessee Conservation League, the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs, and the Tennessee Botanical Gardens and Fine Arts Center (Cheekwood). The Council staff and volunteers are just as enthusiastic today about taking care of the landscape they call home as they were when the organization was founded.
