Topic: Conservation
The Spring issue of Organic Style magazine
(http://www.OrganicStyleMag.com) highlights visionaries who have taken
courageous, inspiring action in pursuit of humanitarianism and
environmental justice.
The cover story features Julia Butterfly Hill who lived – for 738 days
– in an ancient redwood tree to save it from the lumber mill. Now,
Hill's non-profit Engage Network works with groups across the nation on
building community and undertaking social and environmental action, to
help them, as Hill says, "at finding their own trees."
Green Pioneer: Earth Day Pioneer Denis Hayes, who helped launch the
celebration, weighs in on today's environmental movement, from the
phony to the practical to the world-changing. Page 42
Embracing the World: If there's a world record for hugging, surely it's

compassion for all begins with the simplest, most basic act of human
affection. (p. 55)
