Bill McKibben, an American environmentalist, writer, and Scholar-in-residence at Middlebury College will be speaking to the Boston-area, Middlebury group on January 29, 2008, and you are invited.
McKibben’s work has been published in over 20 different languages. His most recent book, Deep Economy: the Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future, addresses the shortcomings of the growth economy and envisions a transition to more local-scale enterprise. In the summer of 2006, with the help of six Middlebury College students, McKibben organized 1,400 global warming demonstrations across all 50 states of America.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of America’s foremost environmentalists talk about his work and how he has teamed up with Middlebury students to make change.
