I interviewed [NRDC founder] John Adams for four hours
There were so many great stories ... The snail darter and Tellico Dam. The stopping of New York City’s Westway freeway. Even NRDC’s story, evolving from an environmental law firm to this concatenation of expertise and global organization.

We did an alert to our members just two weeks ago and almost 60,000 NRDC members and supporters sent 60,000 emails to Premier (Christy) Clark asking that she take a strong stand against the Northern Gateway pipeline.
People routinely say, ‘The Chamber and NRDC and all these strange bedfellows are behind this bill. Isn’t that weird?’
The NRDC's vital work has now a new urgency. So I'm very grateful for this honor -- both because I share a long history with NRDC and because this is really a recognition of the priority The Huffington Post has placed on covering both environmental crises and innovative solutions around the world, as we...
