Ms. Theodore is presently the president of TheodoreTutorials, a company that specializes in providing training needs to industry, government, and academia. She is the author of the chapter entitled "Domestic Solutions" in the Handbook of Environmental Management and Technology (Wiley-Interscience, 1993; the only nontechnical chapter in the handbook); coauthor of the unpublished, but copyrighted, work "A Citizen's Guide to Pollution Prevention"; and, coauthor of Major Environmental Issues Facing the 21st Century (Prentice-Hall, 1996) and "introduction to Environmental Management" (CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group, 2009). The latter text effectively integrated the concept of "sustainable growth without environmental degradation" at both the industrial and domestic levels.
