John has a 20-year career helping organizations develop and execute authentic sustainability plans and programs. He has worked with Interface Carpet, Cliff Bar, Daimler-Chrysler, VANS, and the U.S. Navy. Building from an academic background in Cultural Theory, Rooks approaches sustainability from the perspective of the culture it must serve. This approach makes his programs super sticky and successful.
A funny and dynamic speaker, Rooks blends cultural theory with the practice of sustainability. While extremely nerdy, he makes his talks accessible for all audiences, all while pushing some boundaries and buttons.
