Stories From The Earth Jennifer Braverman and Ellen Selm

Today we are going to be speaking with a local legend. Is he a local legend? He might think my choice of words there doesn't fit. But I say it all the same because this man wears and has worn so many hats in his life that it's hard to keep track. Formally, on the North Carolina State University Cooperative Extension Service website, you will find Craig Mauney listed as the Area Specialized Agent for Commercial Fruit and Vegetable Production. But that title hardly sums up his life experiences and interests professionally as well as personally.  It's probably safe to say that if it has anything at all to do with plants and cultivating them, here in western North Carolina, Craig has knowledge of, if not some direct involvement in it.

Today we are continuing a chat review of “Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist: And Other Essays” by Paul Kingsnorth. This book has a lot of discussion worthy subject matter, so we will be covering it over the course of a couple episodes. Today is part THREE.  If you have not listened to part one OR part two please do so before listening to this episode.



 Link to part one: ⁠https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/PYd3NXHATwb⁠ 



Link to part two:

https://open.spotify.com/episode/5UKV3RWX29virhw5jIbyPW?si=3a5a8f9d81ac4e90



Brief summary of what the book is about this book:

Paul Kingsnorth was once an activist―an ardent environmentalist. He fought against rampant development and the depredations of a corporate world that seemed hell-bent on ignoring a looming climate crisis in its relentless pursuit of profit. But as the environmental movement began to focus on “sustainability” rather than the defense of wild places for their own sake, and as global conditions worsened, he grew disenchanted with the movement that he once embraced. He gave up what he saw as the false hope that residents of the First World would ever make the kind of sacrifices that might avert the severe consequences of climate change.

This iconoclastic, fearless, and ultimately hopeful book, which includes the much-discussed “Uncivilization” manifesto, asks hard questions about how we’ve lived and how we should live.
