Heroes

Anita Roddick 1942-2007

Dame Anita "Queen of Green" Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, was a hero of the environment. She started recycling and promoting environmental protection before it became fashionable. The difficult part about promoting green to the masses is that its not always fun and attractive. Roddick was able to achieve that. She made recycling, banning animal testing, human rights, and supporting third world countries fashionable. She was able to promote the causes she deemed important, while creating a great brand of cosmetics.

You will be missed, Anita.
