    To Avert Climate Chaos, Turn to the Sun

    Our best hope for a new civilization is one that points a mirror to the sun to fuel our world, says climate activist Bill McKibben. Photo by Nancie Battaglia / 350.org. In his latest book, Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization, veteran climate activist and author Bill McKibben makes a deeply-researched and passionate argument that the path out of our planetary crisis s lit by the sun. Additionally, he says, a massive, and rapid, pivot to solar power will come with some key co-benefits, including a chance to build a healthier and more just world. On this episode of Terra Verde, Earth Island Journal editor-in-chief and show cohost Maureen Nandini Mitra talks with McKibben about his new book, the opportunities for and roadblocks to the energy revolution that’s underway, and why he believes that “if you don’t put up a field of solar panels now the world will break.” Note: Check out McKibben’s call for Sun Day celebrations on September 21 at sunday.earth.

    Giving New Life to Old Stuff

We have things that we use everyday, and keep using for years, and others that we use a few times and then outgrow. We have books and magazines we’ve read but don’t want to discard, and junk drawers filled with trinkets that we don’t want to throw out, but aren’t quite sure what to do with. What we do with all this stuff can have real implications for the environment. As the guests on this episode of Terra Verde can speak to, it can also make a difference when it comes to community building, arts, education, and more. Terra Verde co-host Zoe Loftus-Farren digs into the reuse economy with Lela Means, co-founder of Strange Exchange SF, which aims to extend the life of small household items, and Danielle Grant, programs director at Scrap SF, a nonprofit working at the intersection of art, the environment, and education.
