The Nashville Food Project
Abby Schneider is the founder of Simplify Nashville, a sustainability and recycling resource page on Facebook and Instagram, where she shares sustainability tips and information on how to recycle items such as Styrofoam, vacuums, pet food bags, guitar strings and many other hard to recycle materials.
She is the former Recycling Director with Tennessee Environmental Council, and is responsible for bringing the Recycling Roundup series to fruition. She and her program were the recipient of the 2024 Governor’s Environmental Stewardship Award.
Abby worked in the music industry for 10 years, and spent a season with the sustainability department at Ascend Amphitheater, bridging her interest in music & the importance of sustainability within the music industry.
Join us to hear Abby speak about her work in the sustainability field, and how we can all rethink how we view trash, how we can send less to landfills, and in the process, help non-profit organizations and fellow community members.
Abby spends her free time with her fiancé, Jabe, her rescue golden retriever, Maggie, attending live music, thrift shopping, volunteering, attempting to sew, attempting to garden, and propagating plants.
