Julia Lorraine "Butterfly" Hill(born February 18, 1974) is an American environmental activist and tax redirection advocate. She is best known for having lived in a 180-foot (55 m)-tall, roughly 1500-year-old California redwood tree for 738 days between December 10, 1997 and December 18, 1999. Hill lived in the tree, affectionately known as Luna, to prevent Pacific Lumber Company loggers from cutting it down. She is the author of the 2000 book The Legacy of Luna and co-author of One Makes the Difference.

More than ever!

She's correct, but capitalism don't work the way she thinks and she's against the system. Capitalism is more, more, more growth, consume more, bigger, better , bigger hamburgers for less, more money, get rich etc.... Kids are raised that way, ambitious, aggressive, they want Nike shoes, Adidas T-shirts, follow pop-stars, fast sport cars, super models, football player , who's rich, talk of the town how much money these people make, what they own, which stock yield more profit and I can go on and on! That's how most people think, except introverts. That's what she's up against!

Words so very little about something so necessary to hear. She could not have said those thoughts any better than she just did. Wow she lived in a tree for 2 years and lives only off of nature. I find that one could do this, since this is how it once was done in a point in history. If this word can be spread like the hate is then we would be going in the right direction. I agree, and I aim to become this disciplined. Wow and to think a science class brought me here.

What a hero, My college Professor showed us this amazing lady as part of our curriculum. We also learned about the Redwood she stayed in. Such a moving act of heroism.

Everyone who posted negative comments to this video, reevaluate your life choices because this video is 100% the truth! We all need to look at the ways we live and make some changes to help sustain our environment!

She doesn't think about how many paper plates a tree can make yet she has no problem using trees as a fence to use as a background in her interview! Awesome!

This woman makes so much sense to me!

I need to be reminded about the way I live and the waste that happens in the way I live. This video has reminded me about the waste that does not need to happen. There is a price to pay in order to live but that price should be the lowest possible price. Thank you.

Now days most waste gets recycled, I think! Paper, plastic, soda cans, glass,wood , electronics etc.. I have to pay $15 for my car battery recycled! May be 10 years ago, seen on DW TV , in Germany a super efficient waste recycle plant was built, recycles every thing, separates even the green and brown beer bottles. Paper and wood is made into pallets to use for cooking and heating! Still more work has to be done, because we humans generate more and more waste, especially in developing countries, where these western standards are not implemented yet.

Sorry to say this but rarely do i read such dumb and narrow-minded comments as the ones just before me. It makes no difference however what your precious opinions are- the laws of life and living grind on and these are not the megalomaniac phantasies of domination for the human species !Wakey, wakey!!!!!

Humans and this planet are disposable. Get the fuck over it. We are not special Quit thinking you are just because you have the ability to think. We don't deserve to be here, we must fight for it. To survive we must destroy resources, move on to places where there are more (ie;planets) to further spread what is essentially the seed of human kind so that one day our species can be truly dominant. If you think to survive is to stay here on an earth that is inherently doomed then you are doomed as well

Good Lord. She is painful to listen to.

OK, soo we leave our lights on because we are afraid that people will steal our things. We dont want people to steal our things because we might not get them back. Isn't that kinda NOT thinking with a disposable mentality? We want to perserve our posessions, not let them get stolen. I think she needs to stop being so self-contradictory...

What a hypocrite. Your clothing, make up, shampoo & conditioner, your ear rings, nail polish, the fence behind you in the video, the transportation aspects involved to make this video possible, the camera being used AND all the damn computers around the world making it possible for you to voice your bull shit! All these things & millions more were & are involved in making your suffocating & extremely limited logic possible. Practice what you preach or shut the hell up.

Excelente! Idolatro y admiro a esta persona. Me asombra que exista gente así... ojalá todos fuéramos así de conscientes como ella lo es... Y es verdad lo que dice ella: que al tener temor y miedo, de que entren a robar a la casa, esto nos hace ser consumistas. Muy bien... me hizo tomar más consciencia de la que tenía :)

OMG - Weapons of mass destruction?! - cars come to mind. How many people die or are maimed each year. I like to get somewhere as much as anyone but HERE is somewhere at least 2 or 3 times a week. There's so much I can DO right here in my neighborhood.

If only I could find a woman like Julia Butterfly Hill

Here's to Being. Long may Being continue upon this Earth. Ensuring THIS is our job.

We all are. If you dont think you are an Earth Angel, then something is wrong. Put it right with Action. Why do you think you were born here? All humans are Angel-eggs. KEEP FAITH! We ARE winning. bj chela.

Here's to being vegan and car-free

Well done, now that we know what is wrong, what are the solutions? Where is part 3? Blessings and Love

planned obsolescense. "The lightbulb conspiracy.". Ever since I watched that doc, I have definitely been more mindful of the waste. Most of what we buy is food and it comes from the farmers market. Everything else is reused.

Disposability Consciousness: How "Throw It Away" Feeds OPEC And #BigOil CashFlow Creating a National Security Issue - Every Disposable Cup Is Money To Our Enemies

She is truly an Earth Angel

exactly my thought. even a wild bird poops. and the best thing you can learn from the environment is, the poop been recycle by nature to become fertilizer of some sort. but yes i agree with her, too.

I agree with much of this, and try to have as small a footprint as I can on the environment. But waste is and has always been a part of our species behaviour. We used to drive entire herds of animals off cliffs, more than we could possibly need or consume. We used to light fires that would rage across immense areas and burn for months or even years, releasing incomprehensible amounts of greenhouse gases. In some ways, our modern efficiencies are better for the environment.

Stay tuned? Has is been almost 2 years? Please if you have a proposal post it, and if you do not, my suggestion is not to hesitate to post some of the ideas you might have in a brainstorming effort. Cheers

Dumb liberals. You kill millions of babies in abortion clinics but get all upset over s stupid tree. Where is the social justice for those babies. And why don't i have a right to block an abortion clinic with my body if this woman has the right to do so.

Wait... what?

Cheap to replace, low durability and unnesscesary convience causes disposal. Items lack reusabilty, recycalbility, repairability leads to waste. Misuse, abuse and lack care (not changing the oil for example) also leads to disposal. All it takes is awareness, little thinking and effort - it is what I do in my life.

My first thought was how we apply disposability mentality not just to things and material resources but also to people; to our relationships, our marriages, our families. Unhappy in your marriage? Just toss it out and find someone new. Start a new family. We need to take this kind of "mass compassion" of which she speaks and apply it to our relationships as well.

Oh my goodness she is sooo deep, I am getting goosebumps. Ugh i thought I was passionate! I tip my hat of to this lady. Julia never le the fight die... I will join the Simplicity brigade!

@theeastwatch: What a "bad" review. :)

While I agree with Ms. Hill's sentiments, it must be realized that every system, whether human or otherwise, generates waste to the system. What we need to do is try to minimize the waste through re-use and recycling.

The Hopi Pueblo is one of the oldest native settlements in America. The Hopi dictionary gives the following definitions: Trash: mötsikvu, maspivu. Trash container: mötsikyaptatangpi. Trash heap: maspitsomo, mötsikyaptsomo. waste, definition 3, noun (refuse, garbage): is mötsikvu Perhaps those words became part of the Hopi language after European contact.

what a bad vid - i'd like my 13 minutes back please. -TEW

thank you for subtitling and make this video accessible.

What you all have to understand is that such an effort takes decades. Today, we have the physical resources and technological means to accomplish any of these things. Unfortunately, very few individuals harbor the psychological viewpoint needed to make such a transition. The Ego must be diffused in each person before they can possibly DO anything at all. Great video, and with enough patience, understanding, and knowledge we will arrive at the goal of Egalitarian unification.

douchebag marxist

love it!

this is absolut love.....

Truth, every word of it. We should all band together and form sustainable peaceful communities. We're just to afraid to let go/trapped by the monetary system. Peace and Love

This has really made me think and rethink many things...thank you!
