Earth Day in Green Valley of Russian River Valley is near and dear to my heart. I’m a Summer of Love survivor and apostle. In Northern California, nobody does Earth Day better than our own Joy Sterling of Iron Horse Vineyards. She, too, is an apostle of treating Mother Earth with dignity and r-e-s-p-e-c-t.
For the past several years, she’s called upon some very heavy hitters to join her and her guests, to put an important stamp on this day. This year is a continuation of past extravaganzas. Past speakers have been the following:
- Gil Grosvenor, Chairman Emeritus of National Geographic
- Ted Turner, renewable energy advocate
- Pulitzer Prize winning scientist Jared Diamond
- Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor
