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.

One Fire Movement Presents : The Bio Series- Hero's #2 Rex Weyler
One Fire Movement is proud to present the next feature in our Bio Series : Heros with Rex Weyler. Rex is the co-founder of GreenPeace International as well as being a journalist, writer, and ecologist.
We are very pleased to present a brief Bio on a true hero for the environment !
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.

Weyler’s photography and essays have been published in the New York Times, Oceans, Smithsonian, Rolling Stone, New Age Journal, Conscious Choice, New Times, Shared Vision, National Geographic, and other publications. Weyler received a Pulitzer Prize nomination for his Native American history, Blood of the Land, and he co-authored the self-help classic Chop Wood, Carry Water. He co-founded Hollyhock Educational Centre on Cortes Island in British Columbia – dedicated to environmental, personal, and professional studies – and which remains Canada’s leading educational retreat centre. He co-developed the Justonic tuning software used by innovative musicians around the world and wrote The Story of Harmony about the history of musical tuning theory. His account of the first decade of Greenpeace is available in September 2004 from Raincoast Books in the Canada and Rodale Press in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
Weyler was married for the second time in 1990, to Lisa Gibbons. He remains active in environmental work. He writes for magazines and newspapers, is widely reprinted on the Internet, and appears weekly on Canada’s Omni-10 News show, The Standard. He lives in Vancouver, BC, and has three sons: Jack, Jonah, and Liam.
Weyler and his wife, Lisa Gibbons, are foster parents for displaced teens. Weyler serves on several company and non-profit boards, including Greenpeace International Marine Services. He speaks regularly to schools and public audiences.

His national television career began with CBC in 1971 when he wrote and hosted Suzuki on Science. He was host of Science Magazine (1974 – 79) then created and hosted a number of television specials, and in 1979 became the host of the award-winning series, The Nature of Things with David Suzuki. He has won four Gemini Awards as best host of different Canadian television series. His eight part television series, A Planet for the Taking, won an award from the United Nations. His eight part BBC/PBS series, The Secret of Life, was praised internationally, as was his five part series The Brain for the Discovery Channel.
