Bill McKibben: Skier, Environmentalist, Activist, Author
from BLISTER Podcast Hosted by BLISTER
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.
