Carlita has a special guest on an auspicious day during the eclipse: Rex Weyler, Original Co-Founder of Greenpeace, author, and ecologist. Rex shares his journey in the early days of Greenpeace; he covers topics other environmentalists are afraid to discuss. He tackles energy consumption, overpopulation, and other factors driving ecocide, as well as sharing his views on what needs to change.
Rex Weyler is a writer and ecologist. His books include Blood of the Land, a history of indigenous American nations, nominated for a Pulitzer Prize; Greenpeace: The Inside Story, a finalist for the BC Book Award and the Shaughnessy-Cohen Award for Political Writing; and The Jesus Sayings, a deconstruction of first-century history, a finalist for the BC Book Award.
In the 1970s, Weyler was a cofounder of Greenpeace International and editor of the Greenpeace Chronicles. He served on campaigns to preserve rivers and forests, and to stop whaling, sealing, and toxic dumping.
He currently posts the “Deep Green” column on the Greenpeace International website. He lives on Cortes Island in British Columbia, with his wife, artist Lisa Gibbons. He also finds time to teach, and if that wasn’t enough, Rex is also a musician, and he has kindly shared some of his music with us on this podcast today.
