Hey Friends,
When it comes to talking about the climate crisis, there is often not a lot of hope, but award winning author Arno Kopecky sheds some light on the promise amidst the peril of it all. Arno is an environmental journalist and author whose work has appeared in the Globe and Mail, The Walrus, the Literary Review of Canada, Reader’s Digest, and others. He has authored three books, "The Devil's Curve: A Journey into Power and Profit at the Amazon's Edge" as well as the harrowing tale inspired by his travels up the BC coast "The Oil Man and the Sea" which chronicles the battle to keep oil tankers out of British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest. His latest work " The Environmentalist's Dilemma Promise and Peril in an Age of Climate Crisis" is the focus of much of our conversation. We had a great time chatting with Arno, who is not just a great writer, but an amazing storyteller. Our conversation covers some of Arno's incredible adventures, his desire to write and share stories as well as his passion for spreading awareness and raising hope in the face of the state of our climate.
We know you will love Arno and this episode, he is truly a great thinker, storyteller, and advocate for a better future. Be sure to check out his books, you won't be disappointed! Thanks for tuning in!
