Sarah Currie-Halpern

Sarah holds a dual view of responsibility: meaningful change requires both systemic reform and individual action. This balance shapes Think Zero, the firm she co-founded to help corporations and real estate owners reduce waste at its source. Working upstream, she examines purchasing decisions, infrastructure, and material flow, prioritizing prevention over recycling alone. Her approach is shaped by years of observing where intention falls short without clear systems in place. This perspective took form during her time in the New York City Mayor’s Office, where she led zero waste initiatives and came to identify both the scale of demand and the absence of actionable guidance.

Sarah roots her everyday in choosing love over fear, reinforced through a daily meditation practice and a Hindu spiritual framework that emphasizes devotion, awareness, and inner steadiness. It shapes how she leads, how she parents, and how she moves through change with alignment and clarity. Increasingly, she relies on intuition as a form of discernment, learning to recognize misalignment early and act on it with honesty rather than override it out of habit or expectation.

Sarah is raising her three children with that same ethic: close to nature, attentive to health, and grounded in presence. She places value on lived example through time outdoors, thoughtful consumption, and consistent routines that reflect her beliefs. She finds renewal in yoga, meditation, hiking, and music, and in the quieter work of uncovering depths of herself and the systems that she transforms.
