Earth Day 50th Anniversary Celebration

Please enjoy this recorded video message from New York Times bestselling author and climate activist, Bill McKibben.

"Another name for human solidarity is love, and when I think about our world in its present form, that is what overwhelms me. The human love that works to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, the love that comes together in defense of sea turtles and sea ice and of all else around us that is good. The love that lets each of us see we're not the most important thing on earth, and makes us okay with that. The love that welcomes us, imperfect, into the world and surrounds us when we die." - Bill McKibben, Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?
