Celeste LeCompte

I’ve been covering sustainability and green business for the last five years. That work has brought me in contact with everyone from high-tech execs and fashion models to politicians and small farmers. No matter who I'm talking to, I'm focused on providing savvy, in-depth reporting for both deeply entrenched sustainability practitioners and those new to the sector. I thrive on complex topics that feed my natural curiosity, and I'm passionate about green/sustainable business, cleantech and sustainability -- especially when it comes to topics such as trash, agriculture (and the food business, in general!), smart energy, and business metrics. As an editor, I like to think of my work as the salt in a writer’s recipe. Good, measured editing can add depth and bring out the best, the flavor, in an article. Too much editing will overpower it. As a writer, my job is to craft articles with enough flavor that they require just a pinch of salt from an editor. www.revolutionarygrammar.com
