Robin Greenfield – Public Speaker
“Not only does Robin have the most compelling and important content that the world needs to know about, but he takes you on an adventure with him right from your seat. He knows how to play off the audience and his confidence is organic and contagious.”
Robin Greenfield is a truth-seeker, activist, social reformer and servant to Earth, humanity and our plant and animal relatives. He lives simply and sustainably as a means of active resistance to oppressive, exploitative systems. His life is an experiment with truth and integrity – dedicated to liberation and basic rights for all – Earth, humans and the plants and animals we share this home with.
Robin’s public activism involves dramatic gestures designed to reach the mainstream and to provoke critical thought, self-reflection and positive change. His activism creates nuanced conversations on the critical issues of our time, with a focus on solutions for living in harmony. His activism has been covered by media worldwide and he has been named “The Robin Hood of Modern Times” by France 2 TV and “The Forrest Gump of Ecology”.

As a public speaker, Robin has spoken at over 150 in-person events to 20,000 people in 13 countries.
He has given three TEDx Talks: at TEDxTeen in London on “How to End the Food Waste Fiasco“, at TEDxIHEParis in Paris on how to “Be the Change in a Messed up World” and TEDxUCLA in Los Angeles, “I Wore All My Trash for 30 Days“.
His speaking venues range from elementary schools to universities, small businesses to international corporations, rural villages to major cities, municipal organizations, nonprofits and more.
Above all else, Robin prides himself in his ability to instigate critical thought and inspire positive change in the people he speaks with. The inspiration he imparts transforms audience members so much so that when they walk out of the room, they often commit to transforming their own lives, one step at a time. His talks are not just educational and inspirational, but bring in an element of humor which makes the topic of sustainability more accessible to a wide range of people. He is often able to connect with people who have rarely put thought into the environmental issues of our time. Because of Robin’s lead-by-example actions and his extreme dedication to the cause, he inspires people who’ve been working in the field for decades to take their work even further.
