‘Oil and Honey: The Education of an Unlikely Activist’ by Bill McKibben
If you were (and still are!) rooting for the DAPL activists who made daily headlines throughout this past year, author and activist Bill McKibben's book, Oil and Honey: The Education of an Unlikely Activist, will definitely resonate with you. In the summer of 2011, McKibben was arrested while leading the largest protest seen in Washington D.C. in decades — against the Keystone XL pipeline (a now defunct but similarly-contested oil pipeline system beginning in Canada and traveling through the Midwestern United States, to Texas, with then-proposed expansions throughout the northwestern.) Oil and Honey is the book born of that arrest, detailing McKibben’s explorations into the politics of sustainability — from the influence of small-scale beekeepers (never underestimate the power of the bee!) to the impacts of the global fossil-fuel industry. This book will increase your awareness of the small acts you can take each day to contribute to the global movement to preserve our planet.
