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.

Tonight's musical guest is local singer-songwriter Dana Lyons.
