John Stuart is a life-long activist supporting environmental direct action campaigns accross Europe. He chaired Alarm UK, the umbrella group of hundreds of communities opposed to Tory road-building plans in the 90s, fought the M11 extension in Wanstead, north London, at times from a chestnut tree, and was in front of the bulldozers at Twyford Down. He was one of only three people injuncted not to go near Heathrow in 2007 when 3,000 activists camped at the airport. For a decade, John Stewart has fought the third runway at Heathrow, creating in the process one of the most formidable civil coalitions Britain has seen. He's devoted more than 20 years to environmental causes, from roads to airports. The Independent on Sunday has named him Britain's most effective green activist, and by friends 'the greatest eco-warrior of our age'.

Where would you expect to meet a man described by an awe-struck fellow campaigner as "one of the great eco-warriors of our age"? Swinging through the rainforest, maybe? Riding the bows of a boat into battle against whalers? Not eating a sandwich in a very dull hotel on the edge of Heathrow. But there he is, John Stewart, the most influential environmental activist in Britain, revealed today to be top of The Independent on Sunday's Green List. Step aside, Prince Charles. Make way Zac Goldsmith. Bow down Joss Garman, co-founder of the direct action group Plane Stupid, who gave the quote above and says of Stewart: "He is a total hero of mine, an absolute inspiration to the movement as a whole."
