SUMMARY ABOUT ANTHONY ZOLEZZI
FROM LINKED IN
Summary
As an eco-entrepreneur who views environmental problems as opportunities, Anthony Zolezzi has co-founded and built a number of businesses based on finding the solution. These have ranged from Pet Promise pet food, created to help sustain Organic family farms and ranches, to The GreenOps Recycling System (formerly Code Blue Recycling), designed to help curtail the expansion of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Once developed and nurtured, these businesses are sold to larger concerns with the resources to make them even more effective (Pet Promise, for instance, was sold to Nestle Purina and Code Blue Recycling (The GreenOps Recycling System) to Waste Management, Inc.). Zolezzi believes that we will not see significant change in the environmental issues if we do not engage big companies as the solution.
Zolezzi is also the author or co-author of five books, the latest of which, “Uncharted Waters,” tells how lessons he learned growing up in a fishing family have helped him to build successful enterprises.
Books Zolezzi has co-authored include:
Chemical-Free Kids: the Organic Sequel (ASM Books, 2008)
Do Something: Leave Your Mark on the World (ASM Books, 2008)
How Dog Food Saved the Earth (ASM Books, 2005)
The Detachment Paradox: How an objective approach to work can lead to a rich and rewarding life (ASM Books, 2004)
Chemical-Free Kids; How to Safeguard Your Child’s Diet and Environment ( Kensington / Twin Streams, 2003)

ORGANIC STRAWBERRY CONVERSION--THE STORY OF HOW AN ORGANIC LOCALLY GROEN STRAWBERRY TRANSFORMED ANTHONY ZOLEZZI'S LIFE
A ripe strawberry growing in the field of an organic grower inspired Anthony Zolezzi to take a shift in his life years ago. The world has never been the same...
Read all about it...
http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=1315794
Anthony is a great inspiration. He is a sustainability expert on the edge of
what needs to be addressed. His transformation to organic came
when he saw the difference between an organic strawberry
growing and one ridden with pesticides.
In 2005, Anthony was the main sponsor of a five week project I did to bring locally grown picked that day strawberries into our local Whole Foods Market Hillcrest. This is the quality of the strawberries that received stunning feedback.

Check on Anthony Zolezzi insights about
how social media have turned the orginial Orwellian idea
of Big Brother on its ear.
Anthony points out the power of social media
in causing Middle East shifts.
Revolutionary’ impact of social media
like Orwell’s ‘Big Brother’ in reverse
February 3, 2011
Back in 1948, British author George Orwell, in his final and most famous novel, "1984," predicted a world in which all-seeing electronic eyes would give authorities the power to spy on everyone, as reflected in the slogan "Big Brother is watching you."
I keep looking to the internet to see an
uprising around the GE question.
We need an uprising of organic alfalfa growing.
Now is the time to grow some of our food.

ABOUT ANTHONY ZOLEZZI
His grasp of corporate culture
makes Zolezzi a bit of an anomaly in the green movement
and a valuable voice for the mainstreaming
of organic and sustainable practices. “
What I’ve learned is, if
you don’t engage major companies and commercial entities
in large-scale [environmental efforts],
you really don’t accomplish much.
That’s a hard reality, but it’s the truth.”
KATE SULLIVAN

Spent time last time studying the forthcoming
sustainability project of ANTHONY ZOLEZZI.
One of the most effective entrepreneurs
I know, when Anthony turns his attention on
an area of concern, that project gets results.
A long time associate of Whole Foods Market,
Anthony recently installed a collection bin for
plastic bottles at the Whole Foods Market
at Beverly and Fairfax.
His right hand women MELISSA McGINNIS,
one of his favorite cheerleaders for numbers of Zolezzi
Projects, was turning heads with her bright smile
and presentation. She encouraged shoppers to bring back plastic bottles.
Anthony was basically test marketing these collection
centers that knowing him will be all over So Cal and the US
before long.
The plastic collection project works with schools, giving
funds to campus projects
I am just getting a handle on the dynamics.
The goal is to turn the plastic into building materials
and other uses. Anthony considers our plastic waste
a valuable resource.
I have been writing about TONY TRACY and PERF GO GREEN
for weeks now. Both these giants of Green sustainability are looking
at solutions and ways to turn what we now see as plastic waste
into useable resources.
I am looking forward to seeing the sampling station at the
upcoming Natural Product Expo West, March 6-9. Melissa McGinnis
energizes the new project.

Floating in the Pacific Ocean ...
... is a vast amount of plastic waste twice the size of the United States. Marine life and sea birds are dying, and we are also finding plastic in our own foods from the sea ... all with dire consequences. Look, read and shudder; it's time for action!
