It is always humbling to read about people like Hasan. The YouTube clip I have embedded here says a lot about Hasan's work. In 2009, she was a recipient of one of the most prestigious awards in environmental leadership--the Goldman Environmental Prize:
The Goldman Environmental Prize is the world's largest award for grassroots environmentalists. Awarded annually since 1990, the Prize is given to environmental heroes from the six continental regions of Africa, Asia, Islands & Island Nations, Europe, North America and South & Central America.
The Prize is announced in April every year, to coincide with the international celebration of Earth Day. It includes a trip to San Francisco to accept the cash award of $150,000 per winner.
