Josh Fox & Bill McKibbon at UCLA Tuesday the 15th
Anjuli Kronheim
With Josh Fox and Bill McKibben, moderated by Ian Masters
Joining
us is the environmentalist Bill McKibben,
who recently led demonstrations at the White House that delayed the approval of
a pipeline from the tar sands of Alberta to Texas. The contentious Keystone XL
pipeline has become a hot election year issue. He is the author of several
books, including The End of Nature, and his latest, Eaarth: Making a
Life on a Tough New Planet. Also joining us is Josh Fox, writer and director of the
acclaimed documentary Gasland, which
first revealed the controversial process of hydraulic fracturing, or
“fracking.” In the name of energy independence, natural gas companies are using
fracking with the promise to turn the U.S. into the Saudi Arabia of natural
gas. Fox is the founder of International WOW Company, a film and theater
company committed to socially conscious themes and subjects.
A book signing will follow the program.
