About our Keynote speakers:

Bill 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.' 350.org's mobilization of people has been largely responsible for defeating the Keystone XL pipeline. 

Ethan Burke is Co-Founder and Director of Operations for BioTour, a national nonprofit that has traveled to 46 states and delivered presentations at more than 150 universities, high schools, and other gatherings. BioTour tells the story of America and environment in the context of a two-and-a-half year road trip across the United States. Ethan also served as California Lead Educator and Student Action Program Manager for Alliance for Climate Education (ACE). ACE has delivered its cost-free award-winning climate assembly to more than 1 million high school students since 2009.
