SOS, Save Our Planet: The Peoples Climate March and Beyond
with
Christian Parenti, professor of sustainable development at the
School for International Training, Graduate Institute. He is a
contributing editor to the Nation and the author of four books,
the most recent being Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence
and
Mary Sweeters, Greenpeace Arctic Campaigner and Coordinator in the Global Climate March. She has spent the last seven years at Greenpeace organizing numerous communities around climate change. She participated in an action hanging a giant banner on Mt. Rushmore to call out Pres. Obama to take action on climate change and especially to raise awareness of the meltdown of the Arctic ice caps and the dangers of Arctic oil drilling.
The massive Peoples Climate March is a turning point in the
demand for an economy that works for people and the planet; a
world safe from the ravages of climate change; a world with good
jobs, clean air and water, and healthy communities, we’ll dialogue
with Christian Parenti and youth activist Mary Sweeters who has
helped build support for the march and beyond to incorporate an
environmental justice agenda in all of our endeavors. To change
everything, we need everybody!
