At the Patagonia's Tools Conference, all types of activists came together -- individuals such as
Tim DeChristopher, who stood up against America's dependency on oil and non-renewable energy by disrupting a BLM oil and gas auction, to organizations like
Surfrider and
Trout Unlimited. Inspired by speakers such as Brian O'Donnell from the
National Conservation System Foundation and Owen Bailey of the
Sierra Club, these groups learned about campaign strategy, fundraising techniques, and internet tools for getting their message out. Patagonia founder and lifelong environmental activist and inventor
Yvon Chouinard and Oberlin University's Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies,
David Orr, were the special guests who wowed the audience with inspiring stories of grassroots environmental activism.
