Green Team Talks
Thoughts on a greener marketplace, and what it means to be green.
Lorin May
Lorin May oversees eBay’s employee Green Team, a group of more than 2,300 employees around the world who support environmental causes in their local communities and promote more sustainable business practices at eBay. Before joining the team, Lorin worked with mining and oil companies as a consultant at Business for Social Responsibility. When not greening eBay from the inside out, Lorin can be found pretty much anywhere but in her kitchen.
What's your favorite eco-friendly find that you can't live without?
One of my first projects at eBay was ordering reusable eBay Green Team-branded water bottles for members of our employee Green Team. Distributing the bottles was a logistical nightmare, but I’m happy we did it. The bottles were a hit, and many of us use them every day.

On February 1, the group that oversees our facilities in San Jose is rolling out a new “Zero Waste for Green Space” program, which could help us divert as much as 95% of our trash from going to a landfill.
