These days, many of us eat food that has been shipped in from Iowa or get our news from a network half way across the country. But even as corporations like Walmart and Clear Channel broaden their reach, author Bill McKibben argues that there might be a new trend to keep things local.

Bill McKibben is the author of many books including The End of Nature and Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age and scholar in residence at Middlebury College.
