Overview

A groundbreaking volume from the president and CEO of the Appalachian Mountain Club makes the profound argument that to preserve the environment, a revolution must take place in which every person becomes a champion for nature and the outdoors. In The Outdoor Citizen, John Judge coins the term the outdoor citizen delivering his remarkably persuasive argument that we must all become citizens of the natural world, owning and instilling in the next generation a keen interest in the outdoors and reconnecting with life's most essential foundation: nature. Over the next quarter century more than three billion people will join the middle class in the developing world at a rate of 140 to 170 million annually. This new group of consumers will demand more goods and services and use prodigious amounts of energy. This could lead to a ten-fold increase in carbon emissions and devastating, irreversible effects on the earth. Through The Outdoor Citizen, there is, at last, an easy-to-follow plan for all people to contribute to the cause of preserving the environment. It is also a call to action to commit to an active outdoor lifestyle and make the outdoors an epicenter for our communities. It is a game-changer for saving our environment and an entry point into a world of healthier and happier people.

"Adam Lofbomm delivers a narration that sounds like the pleasant voice-over of instructional videos, which is exactly what this audiobook needs.-- ""AudioFile"""

Author Information

Ever since Adam Lofbomm pressed Record on his Fisher-Price recorder back in 1984, he's been bringing worlds to life in words. Over the years, his passion for language inspired him to read broadly, write extensively, speak publicly, perform on-stage and on-camera, but when he stepped into the vocal booth for his first narration job in Seoul, Korea, back in 2006, all those many pieces just clicked into place. He realized then and there that voice acting was what he was made to do. Over the last eleven years working as a professional voice-over actor, Adam has had the great fortune to collaborate with some of the best publishers and organizations in the world. Whether or not Malcolm Gladwell was right when he said that ten-thousand hours will make you world-class at something, Adam did stop counting after he surpassed that milestone in 2016. John Judge is president and chief executive officer of the Appalachian Mountain Club, the nation's oldest outdoor recreation and conservation organization. He is a nationally recognized advocate for connecting people to the outdoors, conservation stewardship, and advancing the outdoor economy. Prior to working at the Appalachian Mountain Club, Judge served in leadership roles at nonprofit, for profit, and government organizations, including as chief planning and economic development officer for Springfield, Massachusetts, and as executive director of Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston Inc. Judge has a bachelor's degree from Stonehill College and a master's degree from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. He lives with his family in Boston, Massachusetts.
