Learn to connect better with others in every area of your life. Immerse yourself in spirited conversations with people who know how hard it is, and yet how good it feels, to really connect with other people – whether it’s one person, an audience or a whole country.

It’s something we need now more than ever.

Bill McKibben: Tomorrow Will be Sunny Nov 11, 2025

A confident prediction from the man who first brought our warming planet to public attention some 35 years ago.

The exception is the US where the federal priority is planet-warming coal, oil and gas. But even in the US, local action, prompted in part by McKibben-backed organizations like Third Act and 350.org, is promoting innovative uses of solar power.
