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!
This is a great explanation of the impacts of our disposable culture! :)
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!
esta mujer si es una verdadera activista ambiental.
shes a true hero
wow! she's amazing, a true inspiration
This has really made me think and rethink many things...thank you!
She is truly an Earth Angel
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.
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.
Wonderful
I wish the Policy makers who talk and plan so much about complex theories and techniques to combat the Climate Change, they must understand that simple change in the Life Style and our thought process also will make a difference.
I fully support your ideas
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.
This woman makes so much sense to me!
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.
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.
Well, but not the topic here.
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 :)
thank you for subtitling and make this video accessible.
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.
Por que nunca hicieron una pelicula de esta historia 😢😢😢
More than ever!
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
love it
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.
Here's to being vegan and car-free
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!!!!!

@paultheuglydog - "BAD DOG!!!"...slaps dogs hiney with rolled up newspaper (extracted/processed tree). ;P
Wait... what?
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!
Paper plates are designed to be disposable. A fence is not!
@@auralit8 Paper plates come from a tree! You can use regular plates for your picnic and not kill a tree to make paper plates. Obviously you don't get it either.
@@rwfrench66GenX My point was that you're making a false comparison. With the paper plates, she was talking about trees being used in a disposable way. That's different than a fence, which is meant to stick around!
I admit I'm not sure what you're trying to say now.
@@auralit8 Fences are meant for privacy, to keep my space from your space, and there's a variety of materials that could be used to build those fences, including recycled materials, but she chose wood, the very thing she's going off about and I find that hypocritical. It doesn't matter to me if you can understand or see that point.
@@rwfrench66GenX Why are you being so rude about this? I understand your point-it's not that complicated. I thought from your frustration that maybe I was missing something, but now I realize I was not. Thank you for clearing that up.
I can understand why you think that's hypocritical, but I think that using something from the environment permanently is different from using a disposable product.
I also doubt she built this fence. It might not even be her house. It would actually be MORE wasteful to dispose of an existing fence to dismantle it and replace it with other materials.
pl
I never recycle anything. I am not worried about the environment.
Good Lord. She is painful to listen to.
all the profound things she mentions and you come away with that! good lord your words are painful to read...
KR Brunson: The truth hurts.
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!
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...
She explained that it is wasteful because it's obvious no one is home. We are wasting energy through the fear of "what-ifs"
