The Defender


Spiezer after her recent Leave No Trace speech for Toastmasters.

Yesterday I had a conversation with long-time Leave No Trace advocate, Lindy Spiezer, who heads up marketing at Leki. To add to her growing collection of work to push the Leave No Trace ethics into sight lines the American public, Spiezer added another unusual act of activism to her long list—at her last Toastmasters session, she gave a speech on the Leave No Trace concept: Authority of the Resource.

The exceptional Spiezer has been unwavering in her passion and volunteerism for “environment” in many forms over the years. From developing local recycling programs in the 80s to speaking out about the Outdoor Industry’s accountability regarding to the environmental ideals they were peddling before it was in fashion, she has been a trendsetter.

Check out her partnership profile later on this week in Leave No Trace’s eNews if you want to learn more about her.
