Jacquelyn Ottman is a native New Yorker and an advocate for zero waste. A pioneer in the field of green marketing, she is the author of several books on the subject. She is a past chair, Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board, and editor and founder of WeHateToWaste.com.
A scratch cook since childhood, she is the author of two self-published books on her personal culinary history: “Family Gatherings: Five Recipes from Five Generations” (2000), a collection of family recipes; and “Ottman and Company: One Daughter Remembers” (2017), the story of her family’s 150-year old NYC meat purveying firm.
