Download Oil and Honey: The Education of an Unlikely Activist AudioBook Free
Best-selling writer and environmental activist Charge McKibben recounts the personal and global storyline of the combat to make and protect a sustainable globe. Charge McKibben is not really a person you'd expect to find handcuffed and behind pubs, but that's where he found himself in the summertime of 2011 after leading the largest civil disobedience in 30 years, protesting the Keystone XL pipeline in front of the White House. With the Arctic melting, the Midwest in drought, and Irene scouring the Atlantic, McKibben accepted that action was needed if alternatives were found. Some of those would come at the local level, where McKibben became a member of makes with a Vermont beekeeper boosting his hives as part of the growing trend toward local food. Other alternatives would come from a much larger fight the fossil-fuel industry all together. Essential oil and Honey is McKibben's consideration of these two necessary and mutually reinforcing attributes of the global local climate combat - from the center of the maelstrom and from the growing hive of small-scale local answers. With empathy and passion he makes the case for a renewed dedication on both levels, informing the storyplot of boosting one year's honey crop and building a social motion that's still cresting. Includes a extra interview with the writer.
