TREE HUGGER INTERVIEWS ANNA LAPPE

As we begin to realize the extent to which personal responsibility and action can make a difference in the world around us, Anna Lappé is an inspiring example of just how much one determined individual can accomplish.

Among the many projects that Anna is involved with, The Small Planet Fund is of particular note. Founded in 2002, The Small Planet Fund is a volunteer-led effort to support courageous movements bringing to life on-the-ground, citizen-led solutions to hunger, poverty, and environmental devastation around the world. As a testament to the Fund's success in the last four years, two of the eight grantees have been honored with Nobel Peace Prizes and the Fund has raised more than a quarter of a million dollars.

For those interested in supporting the Fund's efforts, most of the Fund's money is raised at an annual gala. More information about the Fifth Annual Party and Fundraiser is available at http://www.smallplanetfund.org/events.html
