KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Doug FineAuthor, Journalist, Adventurer, & Goat-Herder
Doug Fine is a freelance reporter for Washington Post, Salon, U.S. News and World Report, Sierra, Wired, Outside, and a regular contributor to National Public Radio.
Discovering that he felt most alive while living in wild ecosystems, he moved to rural Alaska to see if a suburbanite could survive away from
Costco, resulting in his first book, Not Really an Alaskan Mountain Man. Then, to see if he could truly live a sustainable lifestyle, he moved to an obscure valley in Southern New Mexico and wrote Farewell, My Subaru, about the effort to live off fossil fuels. From solar panels to goat husbandry to driving a veggie oil truck, Fine is exploring whether an American can live a green life without becoming overwhelmed by electrocution or contradiction.
