Speaker: Michael Meade

Hailing from Santa Fe, NM, Michael continued a legacy of environmental stewardship in community service through his upbringing and completed a degree in Sustainability with Connecticut College. Post-schooling, he pursued certifications in organic farming and permaculture, integrating these disciplines in his service as an educator. Having taught with schools and environmental education organizations around the country, Michael’s unique approach to teaching adapts his love for multi-media arts (music, dance, visual arts & film) as a vehicle for demonstrating ecological concepts. He served on the Board of the Santa Fe Community Farm in 2012-2013, spearheaded school garden programs at Agua Fria Elementary and Mandela Magnet School, worked as an Americorps Sustainability Educator, and built the mosaic for Earth Care’s community garden at Zona del Sol. Besides assisting with All Aboard Earth’s public mural works, Michael produces youth concerts and events nurturing environmental stewardship through arts and music.
