Meet the editor

Avery Yale Kamila created GreenMarketReport.com as a reflection of her passion for the earth and her belief in the transformative power of capitalism. Avery is the assistant editor at The Maine Switch, a free weekly lifestyle magazine in Greater Portland.

Her writing has appeared in Natural Home, Poets & Writers, Ethical Corporation, Healthy-Living-Today.net, GreenBiz.com, Natural New England, and In Business.

She is the former lifestyle editor of a community newspaper and the former editor of North Carolina’s only green business publication.

Before moving to North Carolina, Avery served as the community relations manager at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine. There she led the hospital's web development efforts, coordinated special events and collaborated with local community groups. Earlier in her career, she organized trade shows at United Publications (host of the Natural Gourmet Food Show) and coordinated seminars for business executives at The Institute for Global Ethics.

Avery grew up on a lakeside farm in Litchfield, Maine where her parents still grow organic fruits and vegetables in the summer. She attended the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University for two years before receiving a BA in environmental policy and management from the SUNY, College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse University. While at Syracuse, she helped create a student group to promote socially responsible business. The group urged undergraduates to work for and buy from greener companies and published A Teacher's Guide to Students Shopping for a Better World.

After taking a handful of business management courses at the University of Southern Maine, Avery continues to pursue areas of interest. She was selected to attend the 2003 Stonecoast Writers’ Conference in Freeport, Maine. She also has training from the Prudential Carolinas Real Estate School and the National Association of Home Builders.
