I think I’ve heard Bill McKibben speak more times than I have fingers and toes at this point. Working with him gives the team of us at 350.org the chance to watch even nuanced themes develop in his talks, following the most recent articles he’s written or the latest book release. This talk, from the end of his time in Sweden just a week ago, digs back into the archives as well, though, and Bill pulls stories from 20 years ago while writing his first book, _The End of Nature_, 10 years ago in Bangladesh, and his more recent organizing history, with which we’re more intimately familiar.

It’s sometimes amazing to listen again to the long arc of this movement, and Bill has been there for most all of it – witnessing it, thinking about it, and participating in it. [Check out his latest](https://www.compodium.se/tallberg08/sunday_bill2/).
