Chuckanut Radio Hour: Bill McKibben
Friday 16th 6:30 PM
This month's special guest is Bill McKibben, author of a dozen books about the environment, beginning with The End of Nature in 1989, regarded as the first book for a general audience on climate change, and most recently, Oil and Honey, as well as a memoir, Wandering Home. He is a founder of the grassroots climate campaign 350.org, which has coordinated 15,000 rallies in 189 countries since 2009. Time Magazine called him "the planet's best green journalist," and the Boston Globe said in 2010 that he was "probably the country's most important environmentalist." Tonight's musical guest is local singer-songwriter Dana Lyons.
