Listen to this installment of our On Paper Podcast as host, David Crew, speaks with Stephanie Barger, Executive Director of Earth Resource Foundation, about both the environmental and financial advantages of moving your company towards zero waste. In this episode, Barger reveals success secrets used by such clients as Ricoh printers.

Stephanie Barger is ERF Founder, Treasurer and Executive Director. A nonprofit Consultant, Mortgage Banker and Past CPA, she brings to ERF a wealth of environmental charity work experience. Stephanie has been involved with a variety of charities such as Journey to the Heart, the Surfrider Foundation, Copes and Green Networking for Orange County. She also helped organized several Volunteer Connection Day.

For Stephanie, “Only through loving, understanding and knowing one another can we give back to our children a wonderful earth that we have continually taken from, sometimes unknowingly, sometimes selfishly and mostly unnecessarily. We need not give up the conveniences of the future to keep the treasures of the past (starfish on the beach, clean air, wild lands to run and laugh and be humans). Through community we can obtain the seemingly unobtainable, which is why I have dedicated my life to bring about community into the world.”
