Max Wilbert is a third-generation organizer who grew up in Seattle's post-WTO anti-globalization and undoing racism movement. He is a co-founder of the group Deep Green Resistance and longtime board member of a small, grassroots environmental non-profit with no employees and no corporate funding. His first book, a collection of pro-feminist and environmental essays, was recently released.He is also the co-author of the forthcoming book "Bright Green Lies" (with Derrick Jensen and Lierre Keith) which looks at the problems with mainstream so-called "solutions" such as solar panels, electric cars, recycling, and green cities. The book makes the case that these approaches fail to protect the planet and aim at protecting empire from the effects of peak oil and ecological collapse.
