Saabira Chaudhuri
Author and Journalist
Saabira Chaudhuri is a journalist and the author of Consumed: How Big Brands Got Us Hooked on Plastic, a narrative nonfiction investigation into our global addiction to single-use plastic, and why corporate solutions have largely failed.
Saabira spent the past 12 years at The Wall Street Journal in New York and London, covering consumer goods companies and their sustainability struggles. Now a freelance journalist, researcher, and speaker, she focuses on the role big business plays in helping, or hindering, our transition to a more sustainable future.
Originally from Bangalore, India, Saabira traces her fascination with waste and consumption back to her early years in a country that has rapidly embraced plastic--and big brands--over the past three decades.
