Peter Hammarstedt and Benjamin Potts of Sea Shepherd fame and costars of television's Whale Wars. Enei Begaye, a Navajo/Diné activist bringing green jobs to the reservation. Rob Stewart, award-winning filmmaker of Sharkwater. Jamie Henn, cofounder of 350.org. Wen Bo, founder of China's Greenpeace. Tanya Fields, an urban farmer and poor people's activist in New York City. Meet the 21st century ecoactivists who are devoting themselves to saving our planet. The Next EcoWarriors features the stories of 22 of these emerging leaders and their heroic work in a variety of green revolutions.

Emily Hunter, daughter of Greenpeace cofounders Robert and Bobbi Hunter, introduces us to the feisty and diverse global community of young people who are tackling issues of energy use, overfishing, overconsumption, waste management, the disappearance of indigenous cultures and rainforest, and other urgent environmental/social concerns with a sense of passion and possibility.

Together their message is clear: anyone can be an ecowarrior if they use their talents for change.
