"In the summer of 2019, the climate activist Tim DeChristopher sat down with
Wendell Berry. Berry is a poet and activist, author of over forty books, and a
celebrated advocate for localism, ecological health, and small-scale farming.
DeChristopher, as Bidder 70, disrupted a Bureau of Land Management oil and gas
auction in 2008 by outbidding oil companies for parcels around Arches and
Canyonlands National Parks in Utah. Imprisoned for twenty-one months for his
actions, he has used his platform to spread the urgency of the climate crisis
and the need for bold, confrontational action to create a just and healthy
world."
