Bill McKibben: Skier, Environmentalist, Activist, Author

When trying to gain clarity on issues of climate change (where we are, where we’ve been, and where we should go from here) it is a good idea to talk to Bill McKibben. Bill’s book, The End of Nature (1989) was one of the first books written for the general public about these issues; and through the creation of 350.org and 3rd Act, Bill has continued to bring attention to these issues and mobilize communities to bring about change.TOPICS & TIMES:Bill’s Background (4:03)Writers that have influenced you?
