Nice! Everyone I talk with feels inexplicably optimistic about 2012, or "twenty dozen" as some are calling this new year.
Looking back on 2011, I am remembering two remarkable and courageous woman women who were lost to us: Judy Bonds, who fought tirelessly and valiantly against the heinous coal extraction practice of mountaintop removal (http://tinyurl.com/judybonds), and Wangara Maathai, a Kenyan activist and Nobel peace prize winner who founded the Green Belt Movement that resulted in the planting of 30 million trees (http://tinyurl.com/wangaramaathai). These women pioneered new levels of activism and leave behind lasting legacies of pure and unwavering commitment to cherishing and protecting our natural world, Earth. We'll miss them greatly.
