Judd Williams grew up exploring the woods and creeks flowing into the C&O Canal and the Potomac River. Nature has inspired his deep passion to protect and restore wild places. Throughout his life, he has invested in building a more sustainable future in a variety of ways - producing a line of original design furniture with an exological approach, transforming a gravel mine into a park, raising his daughters to love and care for wild places, and working to defend the natural environment from powerful political and business forces. THANK YOU FOR BURNING is a call to act to replace the worst fossil fuel use with clean sustainable energy for the lives of coming generations.
