That\u2019s one damn good witch in my book.<br \/>\n<a title=\"Tyrone Hayes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/explorers\/bios\/tyrone-hayes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tyrone Hayes<\/a>: the jovial Berkeley professor and National Geographic Emerging Explorer.

Small in size, but huge in drive and spirit, you may disagree with some of her ideas, but, honestly, I would never want her job.<br \/>\nThere are many more stories like these in the film \u2013 from the farmers of the world, who grow our produce and grains and who raise our dairy cows in the face of dwindling water supplies; to \u2018Iron Man\u2019<a title=\"Erin Brockovich\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brockovich.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0Erin Brockovich<\/a>, who refuses to take no for an answer, and is still at it after all these years.<br \/>\nLike all good superheroes, these people inspire me, and they will inspire you too.\u00a0It doesn\u2019t mean that we\u2019re safe, because, these folks are, after all, mere mortals.
