Emily Procter Reads From Slain Student Environmentalist Credo

by KD Griffin

Emily Proctor joined other stars as part of the Live Earth effort by reading parts of Michele Gardner-Quinn’s ecological essay as they hold portraits of the young woman. Garden-Quinn, a student at the University of Vermont, wrote the essay two days before she was abducted and murdered as part of a class project.

Filmmaker Damon Cason enlisted musician Sheryl Crow, Ferguson, Tipper Gore and actresses Hawn, Kate Hudson, Emily Procter and Meg Ryan to read excerpts of the essay for the video.

“I believe that my connection to all life forms prevents me from sitting back and watching this catastrophe,” Hudson says.

“The reality of climate change is here and now,” Gore says. “It is the environmental battle of our generation and generations to come.”

“In honor of all life, I am dedicating myself to preventing this worldwide ecological crisis,” Ryan says, quoting the final sentence of Gardner-Quinn’s work.

The only words in the video that are not the author’s belong to her mother, Diane, who concludes the piece:

“And I believe that my daughter can still change the world.”
