A Remembrance of Billy Frank, Jr.by Martha Kongsgaard on
“I don’t believe in magic,” Billy once said. “I believe in the sun and the stars, the water, the tides, the floods, the owls, the hawks flying, the river running, the wind talking.

Those who learn to listen to the world that sustains them can hear the message brought forth by the salmon.”

The ultimate goal is to make the world net-zero emissions by 2100. Sounds great.
