About the event
The Presenter: Todd Myers | Director, Center for the Environment | tmyers@washingtonpolicy.org | (206) 963-3409
With more than two decades in environmental policy, Todd Myers’s experience includes work on various environmental issues, including climate policy, forest health, old-growth forests, and salmon recovery. A former executive team member at the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, he is a Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Council member.
He is the author of “Time to Think Small: How Nimble Environmental Technologies Can Solve the Planet’s Biggest Problems,” which outlines how small technologies empower people to protect threatened wildlife species, reduce CO2 emissions, and reduce ocean plastic. His previous book, “Eco-Fads: How the Rise of Trendy Environmentalism Is Harming the Environment,” documented how our environmental policies are driven by a desire to look good rather than to help the environment.
His writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, National Review, Seattle Times, and USA Today and on numerous news networks, including CNBC, Fox News, the BBC, and CNN. He served as vice president of the Northwest Association of Biomedical Research and received their Distinguished Service Award in 2018 for his support of bioscience. He has also served as president of the Prescription Drug Assistance Foundation, a nonprofit providing medicines to low-income patients.
