Wall Street Dialogues: Environmentalist Bill Mckibben May 22, 2012

Pundits from liberal to conservative host conversations on the moral and ethical dilemmas raised by the Occupy Wall Street movement in the continuing series, Wall Street Dialogues, at Trinity Church in lower Manhattan (Broadway at Wall Street). Environmentalist Bill McKibben will host the discussion on Tuesday, May 22 at 6 PM. The talk is free and open to the public.

McKibben is the author of a dozen books about the environment, beginning with The End of Nature in 1989, which is regarded as the first book for a general audience on climate change. He is a founder of the grassroots climate campaign 350.org, which has coordinated 15,000 rallies in 189 countries since 2009. Time Magazine called him "the planet's best green journalist" and the Boston Globe said in 2010 that he was "probably the country's most important environmentalist."

The talk will air live at www.trinitywallstreet.org. Bill McKibben will take questions from the onsite and webcast audiences.

Wall Street Dialogues are presented by Trinity Institute (TI), a continuing education program founded in 1967 as an outreach of Trinity Wall Street, an Episcopal parish. Recent conferences include God’s Unfinished Future; Religion and Violence: An Interfaith Dialogue; Radical Abundance: A Theology of Sustainability; and Building an Ethical Economy: Theology and the Marketplace.
