Sheherazade Goldsmith

Sheherazade Bentley Goldsmith (born 14 March 1974) is an English environmentalist, author and socialite.

During the 1990s, Goldsmith worked in the fashion industry, first as a model and then as a marketer. In the 21st century, she has been an environmental activist who has undertaken a variety of green initiatives, starting with an Organic food business that she ran in London from 2000 to 2002. In 2007, she edited a guide to eco-friendly living, A Slice of Organic Life: Get Closer to the Soil Without Going the Whole Hog, which she followed a year later by publishing a how-to guide for celebrating Christmas in an environmentally friendly way, called A Greener Christmas.

Goldsmith frequently contributes as a columnist to various national newspapers and other publications in the United Kingdom, including You Magazine, for which she has been an eco-columnist since 2008. Owing to her activism, she has been repeatedly identified by the British media as "the Poster Girl for the Green Generation" and a "Green Goddess." She runs a small organic farm in Devon and is divorced from her husband, Zac Goldsmith, the Conservative MP for Richmond Park, with whom she has three children.
