Keith Tharp makes the quick case for how small, local efforts and organizations can combine to make a large impact. Keith co-founded Sustainable Seacoast with his wife, a nonprofit organization with the primary goal of eliminating single-use plastic in their local restaurant industry. The results are actual reduction in plastic use and shifts in mindset for businesses and residents.

Keith Tharp has two great kids who constantly make him proud. He enjoys a wonderful life with his wife Kate Harris and a Lagotto Romagnolo named Kalee. When he’s not roaming the globe for work and pleasure, he calls Kittery home. As co-owner of Kate & Keith Photography he enjoys traveling, working with amazing people and dancing on weekends.
