News Bill McKibben podcast interview
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 1:10 PM
Noted environmentalist and writer Bill McKibben, when not organizing visually stimulating demonstrations to wake up politicians and the populace to the threat of global warming, writes best-selling books about everything from the environment to alternative energy to how the information age has impacted our collective and personal identity. He also founded Step It Up 2007, a grassroots advocacy group that's met with success in getting out the message about global warming's impact. McKibben was gracious enough to speak with me over the phone from his Vermont home. Click below to hear about where the nation stands in terms of what we're doing, how metro Atlanta's existence as a sprawling monster has hurt more than just the environment, and who he's supporting for president in November. (Hint: It's a Democrat.) Most importantly, McKibben talks about what we can do.
