What this environmentalist learned at Northlea school Bill McKibben is an author, educator and environmentalist listed as one of the world’s 100 most important global thinkers. He’s perhaps best-known as the 2014 winner of the Right Livelihood Prize (the ‘alternative Nobel’). He’s the author of the world’s first book about climate change for a general audience (The
