Kathleen Dean Moore on why is it wrong to wreck the world and what is our obligation to the future.
Even as seas rise against the shores, another great tide is beginning to rise – a tide of outrage against the pillage of the planet, a tide of commitment to justice and human rights, a swelling affirmation of moral responsibility to the future and to earth’s fullness of life. On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with philosopher and nature essayist Kathleen Dean Moore - whose new book Great Tide Rising: Finding Clarity and Moral Courage to Confront Climate Change explores why is it wrong to wreck the world and what is our obligation to the future.

Kathleen Dean Moore is a writer, moral philosopher, and environmental thought-leader, devoted to an unrelenting defense of the future against those who would pillage and wreck the planet. She is best known for award-winning books of essays that celebrate and explore the meaning of the wet, wild world of rivers, islands, and tidal shores - Riverwalking, Holdfast, Pine Island Paradox, and Wild Comfort. Her growing alarm at the devastation of the natural world led her to quit her position at Oregon State University and focus her writing on the moral urgency of action against climate change and habitat destruction.
