Guest #1 - Derrick Jensen has

become one of the nation’s leading voices of cultural and environmental

dissent, who writes about civilization devastating impact upon the

environment and the natural world, and our society’s denial of that

fact. Utne Reader listed Derrick among the 50 visionaries changing the

world. In sharp contrast to environmental optimists who believe working

within the corporate system will offset the tenuous planetary balance

threatened by climate change, Derrick has advocated for many years a

“dismantling of civilization” which can include radical dissent as well

as imparting wisdom to our children.  Derrick has written many books

influential books. His recently released “The Myth of Human Supremacy”

may be perhaps be one of his important that goes to heart of the rapid

pace in environmental and ecological degradation. He also hosts a weekly

radio program, Resistance Radio, on the Progressive Radio Network every Sunday evening at 6:00 pm Eastern time. His website is  www.DerrickJensen.org
