his position as executive director of the SIerra Club. Turner worked at Friends of the Earth from 1969 until 1986, serving
for one year as executive director and for fifteen years as editor of Not Man Apart, the organization's publication. In 1986,
Turner took a position with the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund (now Earthjustice), where he has worked as a staff writer,
director of publications, and senior editor. Turner has published extensively on environmental issues, authoring numerous
books as well as articles in newspapers, journals, and magazines.
