Tre Arrow Speaking at Eugene Environmental Land, Air and Water Conference

Video excerpt feeaturing Tre Arrow, from a panel at the 28th Annual Environmental Land, Air and Water Conference recently held in Eugene, Oregon. Panel was
entitled "Direct Action for the Environment."

Tre spends the first half of this 12 minute talk discussing his early
activism, climbing the ledge at the Forest Service office to protest
the Eagle Creek Timber Sale, and his experiences at the Oregon coast at
the God's Valley Sale, where after free climbing a tree without gear,
support, or a platform, he was severely injured due to the use of sleep
deprivation tactics.

"I'm here today to say that we mustn't
allow the oppressors to break our spirit, that we owe it to ourselves,
to future generations, and certainly to this planet and all living
being on this planet to do what we can to help create a more a more
healthy, a more just, a more peaceful, a more eglatarian world, and
that's what I'm committed to."
"And I fully encourage everyone in
this room to do whatever they can to get educated, to get involved, to
perhaps change their diet, perhaps eliminate certain things in ones
life, purchases or activites that contribute to the greater whole."

"We all have creativity and we all have gifts that we can bring about
to create a more healthy and just planet." Tre, agreeing with a
previous speaker, encouraged using "every tool in the toolbox......I
have tried several different tactics; some have been effective, some
have been not as effective."

Arrow finishes his talk by fully
encouraging everyone "to do what they feel motivated to do, to find it
in your heart to access the passion that we all have."
