TEDxSalford

Speaker Announcement – Lucy Siegle

We are delighted and excited to announce that Lucy Siegle will be joining us on stage for TEDxSalford 3.0. Lucy is a British journalist and writer, known for her environmental reporting on the BBC’s The One Show and her ethical living column in the Observer. She is the latest speaker set to talk to you at November’s biggest UK TEDx event, for which early bird tickets have just gone on sale.

Lucy has had a dazzling career as a journalist. She joined the Observer in 2000, where she has been a columnist since 2004, and has made her voice heard in publications ranging from the Times, the New Statesman, Marie Claire and Grazia, as well blogging for the Huffington Post.

Commissioning editors at the BBC recognised her talent for playful authority and she was asked to present a five part series on recycling for a new prime time magazine show: The One Show. She has since become a real favourite with the team and audience alike and is one of the longest standing members of the One Show family.

On top of all this of this Lucy has authored two books and co-authored one, these are:

1. Green Living in the Urban Jungle (Author. How to be and eco-friendly urbanite)
2. To Die For (Author. Examining the impact of fashion on the environment)
3. A Good Life (Co-Author. A guide to ethical living)

Over her career Lucy has explored subjects as diverse as the rise in popularity of naked photo-shoots, rescuing trout, and forest fires. She has passion and enthusiasm for sustainability and can communicate complex ideas about her subject in a way that resonates with the concerns of day to day life.

You can  over on Twitter or read a little more about her on Wikipedia. If you want to familiarise yourself with her subject area and writing then  on YouTube, where Lucy talks about her latest work. After that, you can always read the archive of her weekly Observer articles over on the Guardian’s website.
