Bill McKibben-Eaarth

Possibly the most popular set of podcast’s from environmentalist/author Bill McKibben, is called Eaarth. During the first podcast McKibben discusses how the world is coming to an end and several different variables that contribute to that end. From fossil fuels on the verge of becoming extinct to overpopulation all across the world this podcast is very informative. Ever since people started using fossil fuels long ago it never came across how finely balanced the planet's physical systems were. McKibben is a very distinguished environmentalist because over time, along with seven 24-year-olds, have organized the most widespread day of political action in the planet's history, with 5,200 rallies in 181 countries from every corner of the planet. McKibben house is located in Vermont and is undergoing construction to make it 100% Earth sustainable.

In the second podcast it continues the discussion on the worlds end. McKibben tells a story about “Indonesian farmer schools: Now hundreds of thousands of people have trained each other how to grow rice, what we would call organically, but that's not the point there; it's sort of low input, so it's not expensive to grow [and] high yield; you know, the spread of velvet bean across parts of Latin America; people figuring out how to enrich soil in really profound ways; really quickly much more quickly than the text book says it should be possible.”

The purpose of the bioregional quiz is to demonstrate the lack of knowledge that people have concerning the environment and nature.
