In 2014, American lawyer and activist, Helen Slottje received the largest environmental prize in the world, the Goldman Environmental Prize also known as the Green Nobel. For 10 years, Helen worked tirelessly in the face of fierce opposition from the fossil fuel industry, and colleagues who called her work criminal, to get fracking banned in more than 170 New York communities. She accomplished what others deemed impossible through dogged determination and visionary thinking that enabled her to challenge consensus reality and win.
