Ecological Literacy
Post Carbon Fellow Bill McKibben was profiled as The man who crushed the Keystone XL pipeline in the Boston Globe Magazine.
From the article:
McKibben is a prolific writer, and his many books, essays, and editorials have placed him in a line of environmental thinkers from Henry David Thoreau to Rachel Carson. What they haven’t done, however, is affect climate policy. For many years, McKibben thought that if politicians just read The End of Nature and looked at data on global warming, they would decide to change things. Instead, he says, we have a “20-year unbroken perfect bipartisan record of accomplishing nothing.”
And after watching two decades of political inaction, McKibben began to lose patience. “I spent a long time thinking that I was doing my part by writing and speaking about this and that, since it wasn’t really my nature to be a political organizer; someone else would build a movement,” he once told the Utne Reader. But when that didn’t happen, he realized he had to act.
“When you’re dealing with a problem so large,” says McKibben’s wife, “writing starts to seem almost quaint.”
