Bill Buck made his first TV appearance on the PBS series "Race to Save
the Planet" (1990). After forming a youth organization that helped shut
down an illegal toxic waste dump near Orcutt, California, he gained
national exposure and was featured in news segments and documentaries
across the country. Buck won the President's Environmental Youth Award,
presented by Ronald Reagan, and brought this recognition into an early
career in environmental activism with Greenpeace. He edited a national
newsletter and wrote feature stories for "E" Magazine and the New York
Times Syndicate. Buck worked on a number of national environmental
documentaries, including "No Time to Waste" (1990) -- nominated for an
Academy Award -- and "Connect" (1997), a documentary airing on MTV.
Buck is now producing a documentary series exploring how wildlife
survives in urban areas, and is based in San Francisco,
California.
