One Fire Movement Presents : The Bio Series- Hero's #4 Bob Hunter

One Fire Movement Presents : The Bio Series- Hero's #4 Bob Hunter

We are pleased to present the next in our series of Bio's with the amazing story of a true Eco pioneer Bob Hunter.

Many have argued that Bob Hunter was the spiritual
father of Greenpeace. Greenpeace International itself
states, "Perhaps more than anyone else, Bob Hunter
invented Greenpeace." He was the first President of the
Greenpeace Foundation and amongst other things, he
spearheaded a successful campaign to ban commercial
whaling. He was a veteran advocacy columnist,
scriptwriter, author, and lecturer. Bob began his
communications career at the Winnipeg Tribune and
later wrote a regular column for the Vancouver Sun,
which was instrumental in promoting environmental
awareness throughout British Columbia at the time.
After his time with Greenpeace he continued to focus
the public on giving their local and global attention
towards environmental issues as the Ecology
Specialist for City TV; a television news station in
Toronto.



Robert (Bob) Lorne Hunter (October 13, 1941–May 2, 2005) was a Canadian environmentalist
journalist, author and politician. A member of the Don't Make a Wave Committee in 1969 with Dorothy and Irving Stowe, Marie and Jim Bohlen, and Ben and Dorothy Metcalfe. He was a co-founder of Greenpeace in 1972 with Patrick Moore
Patrick Moore (environmentalist), Ben Metcalfe, Jim Bohlen, Irving Stowe and several other members. Hunter, the first President of Greenpeace, was a long-time campaigner for environmental causes. He lead the first on-sea anti-whaling campaigns in the world, against Russian and Australian whalers, which helped lead to the ban on commercial whaling. He campaigned against nuclear testing, the Canadian seal hunt and later, climate change with his book 'Thermageddon: Countdown to 2030.' He was named by Time as one of the "Eco-Heroes" of the 20th century and is charged with coining the terms "mindbombs" and "eco-warrior


Born in St. Boniface
Saint Boniface, Manitoba, Manitoba, Hunter's career in journalism began in the 1960s at the Winnipeg Tribune and the Vancouver Sun, where he focused on the counterculture as well as environmental issues. Beginning in 1988, he worked as a commentator and reporter for Toronto's CityTV and, since its launch, its all-news sister channel CP24 -CablePulse 24. He created many documentaries about Canada's north that are still often aired on CP24 in off-peak hours. He was also the longtime "Enviro" columnist in Toronto Toronto's Eye Weekly.

Environmental activism

Robert Hunter was on the first expedition of the Don't Make a Wave Committee
in 1971, titled Greenpeace I. This was a halibut seiner by the name of Phyllis Cormack, chartered to travel to Amchitka to attempt to halt the underground nuclear bomb test codenamed Cannikin by the United States military beneath the island of Amchitka, Alaska.

In 1975 Robert Hunter led the Greenpeace expedition against the Soviet Whaling fleet, along with lifelong friend and activist, Paul Watson and Patrick Moore. The expedition chartered the Phyllis Cormack again, and pioneered using inflatable zodiacs as a shield between the harpoon and the whale.

He participated on many Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd campaigns, and was on the advisory board for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society for several years. A Sea Shepherd vessel was named for him after his death.

Politics

Hunter surprised many when he entered politics as a candidate for the Ontario Liberal Party
Ontario Liberal Partyin a 2001 provincial by-electionin Beaches—East York. Hunter's environmentalism had led many to assume that his politics were more in line with the New Democratic Party or the Greens ....Green Party of Ontario, and he had frequently criticized Liberal politicians in his columns.

In the end, Hunter lost by almost 4,000 votes to Michael Prue of the NDP. However, despite these results, Hunter in 2002 called for the Liberals and the Green Party of Ontario to form an electoral alliance.

Author

Hunter wrote numerous books on environmental subjects. In 1991, he won the Governor General's Award for literature for his book Occupied Canada: A Young White Man Discovers His Unsuspected Past. He also wrote on matters relating to aboriginal rights in Canada and remained in contact with Greenpeace and other environmental groups until his death.

Biography

Rex Weyler is a journalist, writer, and ecologist. He was born in Denver, Colorado in 1947, went to high school in Midland, Texas, and later studied physics, mathematics, and history at Occidental College in Los Angeles. He worked as an apprentice engineer for Lockheed in 1967, but left engineering for a career in journalism. In 1969, he published his first book with photographer David Totheroh, a pacifist discourse with photographs from a winter in California’s Yosemite Valley.

Weyler married Glenn Jonathans in Nijmegen, Netherlands in 1971 and immigrated to Canada in 1972. He worked at the North Shore News in North Vancouver and with Greenpeace. Between 1974 and 1982, he served as a director of Greenpeace, editor of the Greenpeace Chronicles magazine, and was a co-founder of Greenpeace International. He sailed on the first Greenpeace whale campaign, and his photographs and news accounts of Greenpeace appeared worldwide.

Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday Anniversary

The One Fire Movement would like to celebrate the Birthday of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
with a Tribute post ! On this his 140th Anniversary

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."


8th September 2009

President Obama went to Wakefield High School in Arlington to give a national speech welcoming students back to school.

A student asked President Obama:

Hi. I’m Lilly. And if you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?"

President Obama replied:

Dinner with anyone dead or alive? Well, you know, dead or alive, that’s a pretty big list. (laughter) You know, I think that it might be Gandhi, who is a real hero of mine. Now, it would probably be a really small meal because — (laughter) — he didn’t eat a lot. But he’s somebody who I find a lot of inspiration in. He inspired Dr. King, so if it hadn’t been for the non-violent movement in India, you might not have seen the same non-violent movement for civil rights here in the United States. He inspired César Chávez, and what was interesting was that he ended up doing so much and changing the world just by the power of his ethics, by his ability to change how people saw each other and saw themselves — and help people who thought they had no power realize that they had power, and then help people who had a lot of power realize that if all they’re doing is oppressing people, then that’s not a really good exercise of power.

Born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi October 2, 1869
Porbandar, Gujarat, India
Died January 30, 1948
New Delhi, India


Mahatma Gandhi, was the charismatic leader who brought the cause of India's independence from British colonial rule to world attention. He powerfully demonstrated his philosophy of non-violence, for which he coined the term satyagraha, as one of the most powerful tools uniquely available to the masses for lasting peace.
