In this open discussion, Bill will discuss his experience as a climate change activist, his books, and how ordinary people, especially of his generation, can get involved to make a difference in their communities.
In his new book THE FLAG, THE CROSS AND THE STATION WAGON - a revelatory cri de coeur - McKibben digs deep into our history (and his own well-meaning but not all-seeing past) and into the latest scholarship on race and inequality in America, and on our environmental crisis to explain how we got to this point. He finds that he is not without hope.
Bill McKibben is the author of more than a dozen books, including the best sellers Falter, Deep Economy, and The End of Nature, which was the first book to warn the general public about the climate crisis. He is the Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies at Middlebury College and the winner of the Gandhi Prize, the Thomas Merton Prize, and the Right Livelihood Prize, sometimes called “the alternate Nobel.” He lives in Vermont with his wife, the writer Sue Halpern. He founded the global grassroots climate campaign 350.org; his new project, organizing people over sixty for progressive change, is called Third Act.
