Did you know that April 2017 marks 30 years since "The Simpsons" made their debut in their first short episode, "Good Night"? The Greens of Germany last week paid tribute to Lisa Simpson's commitment to environmental activism over the years with a tweet thanking her for raising awareness about the environment and climate change. 

The DW Environment Team also thinks Lisa deserves some special recognition for her hard work. From living in a tree to saving it from deforestation - to reading poetry to a beached whale - click through the gallery for some of her best moments!
