sustainability keynote speaker
Lazy Environmentalist founder Josh Dorfman is a frequent speaker on sustainability innovation, sustainable lifestyles, and the rise of the green economy. As a sustainability keynote speaker, Josh delivers highly engaging, action-oriented, yet down-to-earth presentations.
Josh has taught and inspired audiences at organizations including Google, The North Face, The Anthony Robbins Companies, PepsiCo, Salesforce, The New York Federal Reserve, The Aspen Institute, Notre Dame University, and more. His presentations highlight how to easily take steps to become more sustainable in one’s personal life, how to strategically influence others to do the same, and how to implement sustainability strategies within and across organizations.
A champion of sustainable design and innovation and environmental communication strategies that cut through barriers, Josh provides participants with cutting-edge strategies to create sustainable habits, home environments, workspaces, and communities. He dispels myths that sustainability is hard and impractical. Instead, audiences glean insight into sustainable solutions that are easy, elegant, exciting, and cost-effective.

testimonials
Josh captured the hearts and minds at GetThere’s annual customer summit. The audience consisted of several hundred corporate travel and procurement managers from Global and Fortune 500 companies. His style was entertaining and thought-provoking, and his content was right-on and timely for these professionals who need to build a strategy for ‘green’ within their global organizations.
Josh delivered the opening keynote for the inaugural Green + Design Conference & Exposition. We couldn’t have asked for a better kickoff to our event. Josh spoke directly to our theme of integrating green design principles into business practice. Our audience represented designers from a variety of disciplines and Josh was able to keep them all engaged with his ideas about being more green without having to make terrific sacrifices. Our designer audience left impressed with his examples as well as his humor and wisdom.
Josh’s address to over 600 community and business leaders created a new approach and dialogue to promoting environmentalism. Our audience was captivated and inspired by Josh’s refreshing spin on promoting green and earned a lot of laughs along the way. Josh presented himself as the down-to-earth, honest, and practical voice we expected!
Josh was dynamic and compelling as our keynote speaker at Upstate Forever’s award luncheon. His addition of humor allowed the audience to connect with him on how we can all play a positive role in conserving our natural resources. I highly recommend Josh as a speaker.
I was thrilled with how well the program was received — it was a ‘home run.’ Your message was inspiring and hit on all the points we wanted to cover in a positive and meaningful way. The examples you provided were great!
