Tim DeChristopher

Tim DeChristopher is an American climate activist and co-founder of the environmental group Peaceful Uprising. In December 2008, he protested a Bureau of Land Management oil and gas lease auction of 116 parcels of public land in Utah's redrock country by successfully bidding on 14 parcels of land (totaling 22,500 acres) for $1.8 million with no intent to pay for them.〔 DeChristopher was removed from the auction by federal agents and taken into custody, eventually serving 21 months in prison.
Saying they had been rushed into auction with insufficient environmental and scientific review, the United States Department of the Interior canceled many of the leases shortly after the auction and a subsequent court injunction.〔
==Early life==
DeChristopher was born on November 18, 1981, in West Virginia and grew up in Pittsburgh.〔Viebrock, Suzie. ("2011 Mountainfilm in Telluride: Tim DeChristopher, "Bidder 70". ) Telluride Inside and Out. May 23, 2011. Retrieved 2011-07-29.〕 After graduating from Shady Side Academy, he attended Arizona State University, and moved to Utah in 2005 where he worked as a wilderness guide for troubled and at-risk youth.〔Johnson, Kirk. (March 4, 2011). ("Do Motives Matter? The DeChristopher Verdict" ) New York Times Green Blog. Retrieved 2011-07-29〕 As a guide, DeChristopher emphasized self-reliance skills and respect for the natural world. His interaction with at-risk youth groups led him to reject what he viewed as a political and economic system that concentrates wealth in the hands of a privileged few while ostracizing vulnerable and impoverished citizens in the U.S.〔Gerhardht, Tina. (February 14, 2011). ("Environmental Activist on Trial: Interview with Tim DeChristopher" ) The Progressive. Retrieved 2011-07-29.〕 This conviction later inspired him to study economics at the University of Utah, where he received a bachelor's degree in 2009.〔Buxton, Nick. ("Tim DeChristopher interview: Time to be honest." ) Unity. Retrieved 2011-07-29.〕
