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
