Erica Grigg started carbon outreach in 2008 following years of work with international leaders of corporate social responsibility within academia, the private and public sector. carbon outreach won phase 1 of the Big Leap competition and Erica is now one of 200 Euroopean representatives at the British Councils' Low Carbon Future Challenge. On the leadership team of the Disruptive Social Innovators, you can be sure I'm dedicated to a fusion of new and well-founded strategies to save our earth.  Congruently, as I've connected with a broad spectrum of stakeholders-- from 14-17 year-olds in Chicago to 50 year-old IT entrepreneurs in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia, I understand the importance of positive and engaging comunication. Congruently, across the media spectrum, negative images seem to overwhelm individuals into inaction. While riding her bicycle, in a moment of inspiration, Erica wished for a better, more easier future for low carbon lifestyles and dedicated all her time to creating carbon outreach.
