Kimmerly Nace, CEO of Brightwater Tools & founder, The Rich Earth Institute

‘If you have an idea for something you think would make the world a better place, don’t wait for someone else to do it.  Just don’t.  Just get started.’

Meet Our Guests

CEO Kimmerly Nace is dedicated to changing the narrative on how we see our waste.  She’s passionate about making this planet, or rather making its people work better for a sustainable planet for all of us, creatures large and small. 

Imagine a world where our toughest waste issues become some of our most profitable revenue centers? Literally turning problems into profit; using our existing financial incentives for good and not greed. 

We spoke about her team at Brightwater Tools of Brattleboro, VT and it’s origin story in the international mission organization she also founded the Rich Earth Institute. 

Today’s discussion is on regenerative sanitation.  Realizing better nutrient management by diverting the worst offending liquid, our urine, out of the water system and into our soils for crop production.  

Or as I like to say, making our Pee pay. That’s the latest from SMG’s ‘Are We Here Yet?’ podcast.
