Lee SimpsonLee Simpson was the first female publisher Chatelaine - Canada's most successful women's lifestyles magazine. As such, Lee worked contentedly as one of the primary voices in marketing to women for 20 years. Always a champion of change, she lef the communications industry in 2000 to earn a Master of Divinity degree to match her MBA, and was subsequently ordained as a minister in The United Church of Canada. Lee lives with her husband and dogs in Nova Scotia, on three seaside acres. She works part-time in local congregations and as a freelance writer, and full-time helping others believe in the power of the individual to save our planet from ecological disaster through simple changes in behaviour. Her year of buying nothing was documented by The United Church Observer to help spread this message.
