Bill Buck is an American environmentalist and multimedia producer. In 1987, he won the Presidential Environmental Youth Award from Ronald Reagan for his efforts to inform the public about a toxic waste dump in Casmalia, California.

"Taking a Stand Against Environmental Pollution" profiles Buck's achievements as a youth activist during this time, including his participation in a number of controversial protests with the direct action organization Greenpeace. In 1989, as public pressure continued to build, the dump was permanently shut down. The site was later administered by the Environmental Protection Agency and added to the list of Superfund sites in California.

Brower and other environmental leaders.
