Nell Newman makes organics her own | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram

Nell Newman makes organics her own | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram: She launched Newman’s Own Organics with business partner Peter Meehan in 1993. It started as a division of Newman’s Own and became independent in 2001. Newman’s Own Organics pays a royalty to the Newman’s Own Foundation for the use of Paul Newman’s name and likeness. The foundation has given away $350 million since 1982.

Newman, who majored in human ecology at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, returned to Maine to speak Wednesday at the Maine Community Foundation’s annual Inspiring Philanthropy talk at the University of Southern Maine.

What’s human ecology?
