Environmental Lobbyist – Bainy Suri – Eco Community Solutions, New Jersey

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.
