Adam Werbach, 26, is the best known conservationist of his generation. Rolling Stone describes him as , "a fixture on lists of the most influential Americans under 30. "He reaches 20 million homes a week as the host of the Outdoor Life Network's primetime news magazine, the Thin Green Line. He sits on the Board of several public interest organizations, including Sierra Club, Common Cause, Milarepa Fund, and the Stern Grove Festival.

At age 23, he was elected the 46th president of the Sierra Club, the oldest and largest grassroots environmental organization in America. Werbach led the campaign to pass the strongest clean air standards in America's history against a $30 million industry smear campaign. He led the fight to protect more than two million acres of wilderness, and was at President Clinton's side at the Grand Canyon when the largest wilderness bill in Utah's history was signed.

Werbach started his activism early, circulating a petition to oust Ronald Reagan's Secretary of the Interior, James Watt, in his second grade class. As a high school student he founded the Sierra Club's national student program, the Sierra Student Coalition (SSC). Under his leadership, the SSC grew to 30,000 members and helped created the largest national park in the lower forty-eight states.

In his two terms as President, he increased the Sierra Club's membership to 600,000, while bringing the average age of a member down by a decade and guilding the organization back to financial health. When Newt Gingrich refused to meet with him at the Republican National Convention, Werbach led a thousand surfers to take over the beach in San Diego. When the Vice President suggested weak solutions to global warming, Werbach accused him of "trying to put out a house fire with a squirt gun" on national television. Even so, the Vice President said, "Adam Werbach is proving what many of us have believed all along. Young people do care, they are involved, and they are already making a difference."

A regular guest on ABC's Politically Incorrect, Werbach has appeared on every major TV network, an has been an answer on Jeopardy. He's been featured in publications like New York Time, People, LA Times, Newsweek, U.X. News and World Report, New Republic, and TIME magazine.

Jim Hightower said of Werbach's book, Act Now, Apologize Later, "if this book doesn't get you to organizing, check your pulse, you might be dead."

He double majored at Brown University in Political Science and Modern Culture and Media. After graduating college Werbach fulfilled a life-long dream of moving to San Francisco, with his cat Icarus.
