Gwendolyn Hallsmith

Gwendolyn Hallsmith is the Executive Director of Global Community Initiatives, a non-profit organization she founded in 2002. She is the author of six books on sustainable community and economic development and has worked with communities all over the world to foster caring communities, local economies, good governance, efficient services, and healthy ecosystems. She founded Vermonters for a New Economy to work on economic solutions at the state level, and the Headwaters Garden and Learning Center, an ecovillage in Cabot, VT. She and her husband, Michael Taub, sing in a folk duo called The New Economistas. This summer, she organized a flotilla in New York City to welcome Greta Thunberg to the U.S. and used a Facebook group called #YouGoGreta to do it. Her books, The Key to Sustainable Cities, and Creating Wealth, are available for no cost in the #YouGoGreta Group Files.
