Reflection on McKibben

From a series of pod-casts and a bio-regional quiz that asks about surrounding areas and environmental questions that most people don't ever think about, a listener and quiz taker can feel out of touch with the surrounding world. McKibben is the guest in the series of pod-casts and talks about a world that is extremely different than the world of fifty years ago. McKibben calls this world Eaarth because of the amount of differences experienced around the planet through travels. McKibben explains that people in the world today want to solve all of the environmental problems by building bigger and more advanced technology  to do the work, but that should not be the goal of the people. People should go back to smaller quicker ways of fixing problems than the larger way that society is used to. Farming is one of the best ways to do this, but unfortunately, only a few people in the United States farm. Although many people don't farm, there are a lot of people that want to know more about the skill and how to keep gardens. In countries like Indonesia, there are entire schools that teach the public how to be better farmers and how to do the job. This kind of information can make a public feel out of touch with the land and disappointed not to be farming the world as well.
