Tzeporah Berman
Tzeporah Berman (born February 5, 1969) is a Canadian environmental activist, campaigner and writer. She is known for her role as one of the organizers of the logging blockades in Clayoquot Sound, British Columbia in 1992–93. The protest against the logging of the temperate rainforest was, at the time, the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history.〔The Canadian Encyclopedia. (Clayoquot Sound ). Historica Dominion. Retrieved on: 2012-11-08.〕 Working with Greenpeace, Berman has helped bring the clearcut logging of Canada's rainforest to international prominence. She has worked on the Great Bear Rainforest campaign, and the Boreal campaign. She is a strategic advisor on clean energy, oilsands and pipelines for many environmental, First Nations and philanthropic organizations. She has been co-director of Greenpeace International's Global Climate and Energy Program, Executive Director and Co-founder of PowerUp Canada and Co-founder and Campaign Director of ForestEthics.
In 2009, Berman served on British Columbia’s Green Energy Task Force. The task force, appointed by Premier Gordon Campbell, was charged with making recommendations on the development of renewable energy for the province. Berman was one of the experts in the environmental documentary ''The 11th Hour'', produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. She was named as one of six Canadian nominees for the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship social entrepreneur of the year award, one of "50 Visionaries Changing the World" in ''Utne Reader'' and as "Canada's Queen of Green" in a cover story by ''Readers Digest''. She was included in the Royal British Columbia Museum permanent exhibit of “150 people who have changed the face of British Columbia.”
==Early life==
Born Susanne Faye Tzeporah Berman, she grew up in London, Ontario, the third of four siblings in a middle-class Jewish family. Her father owned a small advertising company and her mother had a business that made promotional flags and pennants.〔Glave, James (November 1, 2009). ("Tzeporah Berman's Green Idea." ) ''Vancouver Magazine''. Retrieved: 2013-08-06.〕 The family spent summers at her mother’s family's cottage in Lake of the Woods. Her father died when Berman was in her early teens and her mother died two years later. Her older sister, Corrine, who was then twenty, persuaded the authorities to allow the four children—including her other sister Wendy and younger brother Steven—to remain together until Corrine turned twenty-one and could assume legal custody.〔Langlois, Christine (November, 2009). (“The Queen of Green.” ) ''Readers Digest''. Retrieved: 2013-07-22.〕
After high school, Berman moved to Toronto to attend Ryerson University's fashion arts design program. While she was successful in design—Harry Rosen, who judged the school's final show called her a “bright light on Canada’s fashion scene”—she found a new calling and switched to environmental studies at the University of Toronto.〔
