Only One In The Room

Amber Valletta Is The Only Super Model Willing To Get Arrested For Climate Change Episode 42


Listen Later

Can you picture spending your summers on your grandmother’s farm in Oklahoma? Living off the bounty of the earth, playing in rivers and coming in breathless and muddy at the end of every day?

Supermodel and environmental activist, Amber Valletta, was discovered at age 15 and became a staple on catwalks and on magazine covers by the time she was 18 years old. And even though she was living a life that most people only ever saw on MTV, she found herself nostalgic for the clean streams and organic harvests of her youth.

But what would you do if the most effective way for you to bring attention to the environment was to get arrested? Would you join actress/activist Jane Fonda in Washington DC for Fire Drill Fridays and risk getting cuffed? Or would you decide to keep a lower profile and support your cause in a way that might not result in a mug shot?
