Sierrans,
 
The Sierra Club nationally is the most respected (and most feared by the
bad guys) environmental organization.
We have this reputation because of the selfless, dedication of
volunteers like Jo. I stand in awe of her dedication and commitment.
This award should be just the first of many.
Congratulations, Jo!

"We abuse the land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us.
When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use
it with love and respect."
---Aldo Leopold

"We cannot fundamentally change the direction of agriculture unless we
win the hearts and minds of people on the land and engage them in making
that change."
---Fred Kirschenmann

"Let us teach ourselves and others that politics can be not only the art
of the possible -- especially if this means speculations, calculations,
intrigues, secret deals, and pragmatic maneuvering -- but also the art
of the impossible, namely, the art of improving ourselves and the
world."
---Vaclav Havel
