As many of you may know, Robert Redford was featured in this month’s Vanity Fair 2nd Green Issue as “The Sundance Man”: Actor, director, environmental activist. He cared about the environment long before it was hip and long before anyone thought about global warming. And now he’s responsible for the first environmentally themed TV series in the US called, “The Green” on the Sundance Channel. Redford, a frequent narrator and producer of documentaries focusing on green topics, has long put his public persona to good use. Thirty years ago, he moved words into action as a trustee of the Natural Resources Defense Council and later the founder of the Institute for Resource Management. He regularly speaks out for clean, sustainable, and alternative energy production, as well as to protect clean air and water resources including opposing drilling in Alaska’s artic refuge. As Redford enters his 71st year, he will no doubt continue to make his voice, and the voices of the causes he champions, heard. Have a great weekend everyone! by
