Lessons from yesterday, Visions for Tomorrow
Oral Histories
The Lowell Center for Sustainable Production launched the Toward Tomorrow initiative in 2005 with a series of in-depth conversations with environmental and health leaders. Over the course of a year, Joel Tickner and Polly Hoppin conducted oral histories with people who have made great contributions to communities, organizations and movements seeking health and well-being for humans and the natural world. Altogether, 19 Toward Tomorrow Visionaries shared insights from their youth, lessons learned from a lifetime of research, organizing and practice, and their guidance to a new generation of leaders.
We hope to compile many of these oral histories in a book, and have begun that process with several of them, which are now in chapter form.
