Ever since 1989's groundbreaking The End of Nature, Bill McKibben has raised a series of eloquent alarms, emerging as this generation’s most important writer, today’s Muir or Carson. In his latest, Eaarth (yes, with two a’s), he leads readers to a devastating conclusion: we've passed the tipping point for climate change, and it's time to get creative about our survival. His solutions might surprise you, and his refusal to abandon hope restores faith in the future. Our conversation is co-led by Paul Macht, whose architecture firm has been specializing in environmentally sensitive design since 1989. Paul is also president of the local environmental group Earthright, our co-sponsor for the evening.
