Down to the Wire
Post Carbon Fellow Bill McKibben was interviewed by Triple Pundit on his 2007 book Deep Economy and localization.
From the article:
Triple Pundit: Who or what influences your work, particularly your 2007 piece Deep Economy?McKibben: For me, all intellectual paths lead back to Wendell Berry, who really started Americans thinking about these questions at a moment when it was hard to imagine they’d ever even begin to happen. That he’s lived long enough to see the number of farms in America increasing instead of declining is a great joy–and it’s largely his work and witness that let it happen.Triple Pundit: You write that the “…most important work is simply to crack the consensus that what we need is More.” How or where do we start to do that?McKibben: Hard to do, since all the institutions of our society have bought into the conventional wisdom that growth is always the goal. But we need to keep pointing out both the ecological peril and the psychological malaise that growth has produced–some combination of these will eventually turn the tide. The question, of course, is if it will happen in time to make a difference to the climate. On that, no guarantees, except that at 350.org we’re working as hard as we can to speed it up.
