I lost Victoria, my mentee, to a foster home this week. Well... I didn't really lose her, but she has moved out of the teen shelter where we gardened together for the past couple of years. Today (for the first time) she woke up in a home with a real backyard. She's over the top happy - Aiden has other kids his age to hang with and Starbucks, her lifeline, is just around the corner.

For over 20 years, my husband has worked for defense contractors which has left him a bit jaded and questioning any "authority."

Hello - I'm a "green" Consumer Advocate first and Sales and Marketing professional second. I struggle just like everyone else, trying to incorporate more sustainable products and lifestyle into my life. I'm passionate about getting to the day when being green is pervasive and embedded into our products and habits. Until then, you'll find me online promoting eco and socially responsible speakers, workshops, and educational resources at www.InWomenWeTrust.com.
We all know that American women buy or influence over 80% of all consumer purchases, but did you know that by 2014 it’s estimated that women will control 70% of the GLOBAL consumer spending? We are the steering committee for the next economy -- business, which was afraid of bloggers and suggestions just five years ago, is now listening and courting our influence.
Past work includes interviewing over 1000 manufacturers and their marketing plans and a full service ad agency for retail advertising. Today my focus is on consumer activation – making sure women feel the power and responsibility of their decisions and giving them a set of power-tools so their weekly grocery shopping decisions has global impact.
If this is your passion as well, give me a call. I'll happily collaborate and cross support any project that helps women and the market become greener together. Mary Clare Hunt (or just Mary) Cell: 714-926-1223
