Mike Tidwell founded and now directs the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to fighting global warming in the Chesapeake region through the promotion of clean, renewable energy. He is also a writer and documentary film maker whose most recent film - "We Are All Smith Islanders" - details the dangers and solutions associated with global warming along America's east coast. His books include Amazon Stranger and Bayou Farewell. Mike's grass-roots environmentalism extends to his own 'backyard'; his home is fueled almost entirely by wind, solar and corn power. In recognition for his clean energy work, Mike received Audubon Naturalist Society's prestigious "Conservation Award" in 2003. Aries Keck produces and directs Earthbeat.
