SHOUTOUT: Bill Mckibben

Bill is an activist, writer, Christian and founder of the non-profit 350.org. There are many reasons I love this man. He has a very sharp but not condemning voice in all of his interviews and books. He does a good job of challenging and calling Christians to do something about climate change, especially in an apocalyptic obsessed culture where many don’t care about the environment because they think the end time is coming. On the other side some people don’t believe there aren’t enough facts to support climate change and he does a good job of clearly presenting his case. The name for his group 350.org is named after the scientific fact that we need to get down to 350 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere, we are at around 392 right now. I could ramble on about how much I like Bill Mckibben or just show some things that he has done
