Congressional Reception for Hispanics Living Green Book
Sierra Club – February 18, 2010
By Nicholas Mukhar
A new book called Hispanics Living Green, by Sharon T. Freeman, details the community- and family-based relationship between Hispanic culture and the earth through stories of people who have steered environmental action away from individualism.
Sifting through its pages, you meet people like organic farmer Chris Velez, who has accepted the need of balance between conventional agriculture and organic farming. Sierra Club columnist Javier Sierra also contributes his story. The book also features Juan Martinez, C&NN Natural Leader Coordinator.
The Mar. 17 Congressional Reception will feature keynotes by Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva, Congressman Ben R. Luján, and Dr. Gabriela Lemus.
