		<description>I&#039;ll be very interested to hear this interview. I recently read Deep Economy and will be interested in taking a look at Eaarth.

My question is similar to Karen&#039;s. I am very interested in this idea of setting roots down in your own community by doing simple things like going to the farmers market, etc. I strongly believe that food is the most effective avenue for educating people about their own community and their connection to the natural world and its resources. But I also see the power of learning about native ecosystems of your local region and how it relates to geology, geomorphology, water resources, soil science, etc. Yet, I am not naive. I know that those topics are much less sexy than food. So how do you think that environmental science could jump on the &quot;farmers market&quot; and &quot;slow food&quot; bandwagon as far as popularity goes? I just see this whole cascading process of learning how to become better &quot;root-setters&quot; really leading to a more hopeful future. Thanks.</description>

		<description>I browsed McKibben&#039;s book in the bookstore the other day. Pretty gloomy stuff. I hope things don&#039;t really turn out that way.</description>

		<description>What a great interview! First thank him for his diligent long-term work and foresight.  Please talk with him concerning the use of science (a) in a more local economic  lifestyle, and (b) in the food industry.</description>
