First in the series is my conversation with writer and environmentalist Bill McKibben. Bill is founder of the grassroots climate campaign 350.org , which has coordinated 15,000 rallies in nearly 200 countries in the past four years. Bill McKibben: I think the most important thing to learn was that it wasn’t really our success — we just helped connect all kinds of people. Bill McKibben: Because the president could actually say: we’re not going to do this.

Oil and Honey: The Education of an Unlikely Activist by Bill McKibben is a revelation– and a joy– to read. Though I’ve read McKibben’s groundbreaking work in the past, this book reads differently, and strikes a different cord. McKibben says at no other time in history is it more apparent that this global warming is indeed global, and his work with 350.org is grounded in the international.

Bill McKibben is one of the most endearing speakers you could hope to hear. From his quiet humour to his logic to his message of despair and hope both at once it is so worth hearing. he is funny, bright, strangely humble and making things happen. This is a short version of what he said tonight in Auckland at the launch of his Do the Maths Tour from a venue in Auckland which was streamed live to 11 other cities. He continues on to Wellington and Dunedin. This feels important to me.

McKibben is the man behind the successful + 350.org movement and global events such as the “Moving Planet Day of Action” last year. And more recently McKibben has played a key role in the Keystone XL pipeline protests.
