In this special evening event, David W. Orr will discuss his new book, Down to the Wire: Confronting Climate Collapse (Oxford University Press, 2009) in which he writes: "The effort to secure a decent human future, I think, must be built on the awareness of the connections that bind us to each other, to all of life, and to all life to come."
