in Clayoquot Sound. From 1992 until 2000, WCWC (now called the Wilderness Committee) was led by a four-person committee of paid employees comprising Carr, her husband Paul George, activist Joe Foy and the organization's chief financial officer. Carr left the organization in 2000 to run for the leadership of the Green Party of British Columbia. Politics Carr has been the BC Green Party leader on two separate occasions. She was the party's leader (although called a spokesperson because the Party did not have leaders at that time) in the 1983 provincial election, held shortly after the party's founding. Carr ran in the two member riding of Vancouver-Point Grey, and finished last in a field of eight candidates with 1549 votes. She also ran as a Green candidate for the Vancouver School Board in 1984, but after this, besides maintaining her membership, she had little further involvement with the provincial Green Party until the late 1990s. Although she and her husband Paul George returned briefly to active involvement in the late 1980s.

Carr emerged as a rival to Parker at the party's 1999 policy convention. The motion to vote on whether or not to call for a leadership contest without having to vote non-confidence in the leader was defeated by a substantial margin. But Parker was defeated in another non-confidence motion at an Annual General Meeting held in Squamish in March 2000. Parker resigned and interim Leader Tom Hetherington was selected by the new directors elected at that March meeting. A leadership contest was held and on 23 September 2000, Carr defeated Andy Shadrack and Wally du Temple to become party leader for a second time. Parker and his supporters resigned from the party 31 July 2000, accusing the WCWC of attempting to manipulate the party's direction. Parker launched a formal complaint to Revenue Canada regarding WCWC's activities as a charitable society which was investigated by Revenue Canada and found to be groundless. Parker later encouraged Green Party supporters to vote NDP in the 2001 provincial election.) Carr ran in the 2001 election in the riding of Powell River-Sunshine Coast, against former
