Amy Snook is a consultant with a background in environmental chemistry and aquatic ecology. Her interests include the delivery and evaluation of energy conservation programs, improving resource use, and community outreach/education relating to environmental issues.

She is currently working with the IndEco team on the York Region Water Conservation program, focusing on rain barrel sales events, commercial kitchen pre-rinse spray valves, and the water efficient toilet rebate program.

Amy worked to prepare a 2008 National Pollutant Release Inventory report for a hollow-structural steel manufacturer and was involved in the 2007 Detroit River Beneficial Use Impairments workshop that brought together experts from Canada and the US to assess the validity of current pollution (bio)monitors used for the river. She has travelled to rural communities in Newfoundland and Labrador with the children's show 'Chemistry is Everywhere', to Costa Rica to participate in an environmental-based community development project and to Montreal to present at the 2007 International Large Lakes Symposium.

She focused on factors regulating biodiversity and primary production in a series of ancient lakes in Indonesia. Her laboratory and research experience enables her to think critically and understand issues from a scientific perspective.
