Ep. 304: William Vogt: The Grandfather of Environmentalism

Environment
Written By Stuart McNish

Guest: Charles C. Mann, author and journalist

Chances are you have never heard of William Vogt yet, according to Author Charles C. Mann.

“His philosophy is one of the few that was born in the last century and is as relevant today, if not more, than when Vogt started campaigning to save the environment.”

William Vogt is responsible for defining “The Environment” which, before he so perfectly gave shape to the environment as a global and interconnected system, ecological issues were deemed to be local or site specific. Mann goes into great detail in his book, "The Wizard and The Prophet", about Vogt and the development of his philosophy that says “the carrying capacity of the earth is limited.” Vogt believed that the biggest threat to Mother Nature is an outbreak of humans.

We invited Charles C. Mann to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the incredible influence of William Vogt in shaping the environmental movement.
