Show Notes

Bainy Suri is the CEO and Founder of Eco Community Solutions. She is a grassroots activist, an attorney, and a mother to her son Kai. For the past eleven years, she has worked on social and environmental justice issues in Princeton, across Mercer County, and the State of New Jersey.

As a first-generation, Indian-American, female and the single parent of a special needs child, the environment, diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice are relevant, important issues in her professional and personal life. 

Bainy served as the Executive Director of the New Jersey Environmental Lobby until June 2022. Prior to working there, she volunteered with a number of community programs: combating a lack of diversity, holding social justice student exhibitions, co-chairing committees, sitting on nonprofit boards, starting new social and environmental justice industries, and serving soup in soup kitchens.

Bainy has been invited to speak across the State on her work to stop plastic pollution and authored the first plastic pollution draft ordinance in New Jersey in 2011. She has lectured at Pratt Institute in Manhattan and at the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences.
