Kory Johnson

Kory Johnson is an American environmentalist from Arizona.

In 1991, while still a young girl, Johnson led a successful effort by Children for a Safe Environment to stop a hazardous waste dump being built in her local area. In 1996 she joined Greenpeace and helped organize protests against trainloads of DDT-contaminated dirt into Arizona.[1]

She was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize in 1998,[2] for her efforts against toxic and nuclear contamination.
