Eco Heroism - Our Greatest Heroes are the hundreds ordinary people who have gone to extraordinary lengths to give voice to the needs of our environment. From the courageous woman who raised the alarm over the use of deadly pesticides to the doctor who discovered that the chimney sweeps in 18th century London were dying of testicular and lung cancer because of their exposure to the soot in the chimneys, we have had eco heroes for many years. People of courage and commitment that were willing to speak out on our behalf. In these pages we will be honoring these voices of sanity that have called out for us to rethink what we are doing to ourselves and our environment. In these pages you will read about some of the thousands of eco warriors who have been defending our biosphere from the ravages of unconcious human activity.
Eco Heroes R Us

My heroes tend to be ordinary people who live by their convictions and walk their talk. People who genuinely care about the planet, the people and the future of both. They take their thoughts and their words and transform them into positive actions that get results. People who have little time for complaining because they are too busy making things better. They are actively involved with leaving footprints that lead to solutions. Their actions speak much louder than their words and set an example for us all. It is thier inspiration that has moved me into action. But we can all be leaders in this journey to a sustainable world. Each in our own way in our own life can make a difference and set an example for others to follow. We simply need to be dedicated to making a positive difference and the rest will follow. So be the best that you can be and be a hero for our planet and for our species. Be the change you want to see. Just remember that we are one tribe living in one home. So the very least we can do is to take care of it! So if you are ready... I nominate US!
