Naama Tamir founded The Lighthouse restaurant in Williamsburg with her brother. Before sustainability became hip, the Tamir siblings wanted to open a place that fed affordable food with a light footprint in an atmosphere that was warm and welcoming. Since opening the Lighthouse, Naama has gone from being a small player in a non-existent field to being a big voice the movement for sustainable restaurants. Naama will be one of the participating chefs at the Zero Waste Challenge during this year’s Food Waste Fair on May 23rd at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
