THE ROCKY FILES: THE POWER OF PEOPLE
Rocky Kistner
There is nothing more impactful than stories about people on the front lines of climate change and environmental assaults. The fishermen, the farmers, the residents battling refinery pollution and bureaucracies. From the boreal forests of northern Alberta to the polluted refineries of the Gulf of Mexico, I have seen their story-telling power resonate with people all over the world. This site is meant to be a collaboration with people of all walks of life and all regions. Join me and tell your stories. We have the power to make change.
