Climate change activist Bill McKibben, one of the main organizers of the Climate March, will speak on the SUNY-New Paltz campus on Tuesday, September 16 at 7 p.m. in Lecture Center 100. There will be tables there where people can sign up for the bus to New York City to march on Sunday, September 21. McKibben will deliver a lecture titled, “On to New York: Why the Climate Movement is on the March.” The event is free and open to the public.

McKibben is the author of the 1989 book The End of Nature and a founder of 350.org, a grassroots climate change movement named for the safe level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (350 parts per million). McKibben was the 2013 winner of the Gandhi Prize and the Thomas Merton Prize and holds honorary degrees from 18 colleges and universities. A former staff writer for the New Yorker, he writes frequently for a wide variety of publications around the world.
