Our Wounded Earth, Our Wounded Selves: Can We Heal Both?

Bill McKibben, Author and Founder of 350.org

Sunday, August 10th 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. 

 Noted writer, educator, and environmentalist, Bill McKibben authored The End of Nature in 1989, focusing on the impacts of climate change. More recently, in Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and The Durable Future, McKibben makes the compelling case for moving beyond “growth” to an economy that creates community and ennobles our lives. This year McKibben founded 350.org. He is spreading the urgent message that unless we can reduce the amount of atmospheric carbon, we will cause huge and irreversible damage to the earth and to ourselves.
