Meaghan O'Neill
After graduating from Boston College in 1995, Meaghan O'Neill traveled throughout America, making long stopovers in Maui and New York City, where she began her writing career when she landed a job at Yahoo Internet Life magazine. Later, while working at Interior Design, she was inspired by the tremendous boom she saw happening in eco-design and sustainable architecture, which led her to help launch TreeHugger.com. Now, as the editor of TreeHugger.com and PlanetGreen.com, Meaghan knows what questions people have about doing the right thing when it comes to going green. She has contributed to publications such as Interior Design, I.D., Boston, Men's Journal, The Boston Globe Magazine, and Teen Vogue. She is also the author the eight-part series "The Slate Green Challenge with TreeHugger," a 2007 National Magazine Award finalist. O'Neill lives in Newport, Rhode Island with her husband, son, three cats, and the world's best dog.
