Carbon Conscious Consumer Blog

Bill McKibben is the author of the first book to recognize global warming as a very serious issue, The End of Nature, and now he has been fighting climate change for almost twenty years. He’s still at the front lines of climate activism and current climate science, with a stronger message than ever before: the problem is real, it’s not going away, and we must act now.

Now Bill is working on a global campaign called 350, raising awareness about atmospheric levels of carbon and the urgency to act. Brighter Planet is joining the movement by hosting a round-table podcast with Bill later this month and launching Brighter Planet’s 350 Challenge – a campaign to help bloggers join the fight to stop climate change. For the first 350 bloggers that join the challenge, Brighter Planet will donate 350 pounds of carbon offsets to US-based renewable energy projects in their name, with a total goal of 122,500 pounds - that’s like turning off nearly 38,000 light bulbs for a day!

Here’s your chance to “Ask Bill” your latest questions about climate change, his work, and what you can do to join the movement to create a sustainable future. Submit your question to askbill@brighterplanet.com - one question will be selected to be read on the podcast with Bill later this month. After the podcast, we’ll start regularly posting your questions and Bill’s answers on the Brighter Planet blog (which we will link to here in the C3 blog!).
