McKibben Addresses Rally in Vermont. By Matt Ryan, Burlington Free Press, September 28, 2008. "A couple hundred people gathered at the 350 VT Global Climate Change Rally at Burlington's Battery Park Saturday to listen to environmentalist and author Bill McKibben of Ripton speak and try to amplify his message through mass demonstration. If McKibben's prophecy holds true, if the point of no return -- when global warming accelerates beyond our control - is but a few years away, he said we're going to need everyone to step up and lend an ear. McKibben says the practical steps toward saving the planet, like switching to more energy-efficient light bulbs, are drops in the bucket. The movement needs spectacle, something to attract the media and recruit politicians."
