A life in writing: Bill McKibben | Books | The Guardian

McKibben travels all the time and says his own carbon footprint is "crazily high".... In the past he has admitted wondering where he could store a year's supply of food, or whether he should buy a gun....McKibben is a Methodist Sunday school teacher. He met his wife, whom he married in 1988, while running a homeless shelter in the basement of his church in New York, and he wrote a book about the environmental message of the Book of Job. He sees faith communities around the world as essential allies in this new "crusade", and while to secular people his way of thinking about the stewardship of God's creation may seem quaint, his deep sense of responsibility lends an urgency that is, if you accept the basic facts of global warming, hard to resist.
