     Environmentalism and climate change
      are hot topics; yet they're still often
       imagined as the territory of scientists,
        expert activists, and those who can
         afford to be environmentally conscious.
          We discover two people who are
           transforming the ecology of their
            immediate worlds in Dunn, Wisconsin
             and New York's South Bronx.

Video: Complete Interview » Video Stories
We made a road trip to DeWitt's home in Dunn, Wisconsin to give you a more visual perspective of the marshes and wildlife that surround his lands.
Unheard Cuts
» Unedited Interviews and Selected Segments
We couldn't include the entirety of both interviews in an hour of radio, so we've included downloadable mp3s of Krista's complete conversations with Majora Carter and Calvin DeWitt. We've also selected unbroadcast segments in which they discuss their background and ideas on moving forward.

» Selected Speeches
During the course of research, we attend conferences and lectures to discover interesting voices for the program. Listen to two speeches given in September 2006: author Bill McKibben on people's responsibility to God's Creation and Calvin DeWitt on Christianity and the environment.
Selected Writings
» Muir in Alaska
The pioneering environmentalist John Muir has often been associated with secularist causes. But this reflection on first seeing glacier bay reveals another side of the great man.

» "Let It Be"
In this essay, DeWitt reflects on his land and the marshes that surround it.
