Alright, sea levels are rising, polar bears are dying, and there's a floating mass of garbage in the Pacific Ocean the size of Texas. We get it. As one of the preeminent authors writing about the environment, Bill McKibben's been going on about this stuff for years. His most well-known book, The End of Nature, outlines mankind's irrevocable impact on the planet, and his 2007 book, Fight Global Warming Now: the Handbook for Taking Action in Your Community, is a practical resource for any eco-warrior. Tonight, McKibben discusses what we can (and should) be doing about it, and where we should focus if we want to make our civilization more sustainable.
