This is one of my favorite Spring activities, in San Francisco! The Goldman Environmental Prize has been an inspiring part of my life for the past few years and this year's celebration and ceremony were as brilliant as ever!
A friend and I clapped and cheered on the winners, sharing in their joy and enthusiasm as they spoke in front of the audience of thousands, in the War Memorial Opera House. We were excited to enjoy the musical talent of Baaba Maal.
My favorite winners were: Humberto Rios Labrada from Cuba who is fighting for food sovereignty in a country whose food supply has been critically impacted by the Communist regime; and Randall Arauz from Costa Rica who is working to ensure that the sharks in his country are protected from the brutal removal of their precious fins for shark fin soup. It was also advantageous that I was able to meet these two stars in the meet and greet line, post ceremony at City Hall. So inspiring!
