He’s been called “the town crier of the global village.” But John Seed does far more than sound the alarm of impending environmental disaster.

Whether fighting to shut down uranium mining in Australia, organizing grassroots efforts to halt the destruction of rain forests in New Guinea and Ecuador, or putting himself in the path of bulldozers, Seed is a tireless advocate for the planet.

Part teacher, part roll-up-your-sleeves activist, Seed travels through the United States each year leading environmental events. Not content to shout dire warnings about the fate of the planet, and perhaps aware that many of us wouldn’t hear him anyway, Seed delivers his message in musical, theatrical roadshows, as well as in community-healing workshops known as Councils of All Beings.
