On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we're speaking with journalist and author Elizabeth Kolbert about her new book, Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future. She writes, "People have, by now, directly transformed more than half the ice-free land on earth —and indirectly half of what remains.
In the age of man, there is nowhere to go, and this includes the deepest trenches of the oceans and the middle of the Antarctic ice sheet, that does not already bear our Friday-like footprints." After doing so much damage, how can we save nature?
