“President Carter was four decades ahead of his time. He championed the single largest conservation effort in history, protecting millions of acres of Alaskan lands to be experienced as national parks, monuments, wilderness areas and wildlife refuges.
He put solar panels on the White House and climate change on the agenda. Had the nation, and the world, listened to him then, the future would be far brighter now.”
Manish Bapna, president and CEO of NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council)
