Photography exhibit honors local and international environmental leaders
Five years in the making, this ever-evolving show will travel to Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Madrid. The exhibit features ordinary people who, confronted with the natural disaster of the oil spill, accomplished extraordinary things and formed an integral core for the birth of a movement: local leaders Selma Rubin, Paul Rellis, Marc McGinnes, and Bud Bottoms.
