Lecture by author, educator, environmentalist, and 350.org founder Bill McKibben. McKibben has been instrumental in raising awareness about global climate change. His essays have been featured in Harper’s, Orion, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times. Through 350.org McKibben helped organize a global climate change rally of unprecedented proportions, with over 5,000 demonstrations in 181 countries.
McKibben discusses how people around the world - many in the poorest parts of the planet - are working to address global warming. He also talks about how people close to home can play part in the political and practical work necessary to make a real difference.
