File consists of an interview with Chris Turner titled "The geography of hope." The interview was conducted by Silver Donald Cameron as part of The Green Interview. File includes video of the interview, printed transcript, and closed captioning file.

From the interview with Chris Turner: "I kept thinking there had to be a way to tell the climate story that got the scope right, that understood the size of the problem and the urgency and immediacy of the problem. But I couldn't figure out what that was. And like a lot of people, I think - and you've seen a number of books like this - I thought, "What's the worst story I could tell?" [...]

"And then around the time my daughter was born, which was in 2005, I started rethinking that. And I think it was partially my own sort of personal emotional reaction to her, in the sense that not only did I need to provide for her future, but I needed to be able to provide her with a world worth working for, not one to run away from, and I didn't want to tell that bad story anymore. And the other thing is that the environmental movement, as a movement, seemed to be going through some of the same things. And a particularly influential thing for me was a speech that a gentleman by the name of Adam Werbach gave at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco in 2003 [...] And he's since moved on to constructive change that in a lot of ways is a lot less glamorous and a lot less activist, but where he feels there is actual value being added [...]."

From The Green Interview website: "Topic: Economics; Journalism."

From The Green Interview website: Chris Turner, author of The Geography of Hope: A Tour of the World We Need, a survey of innovations and initiatives around the world that are moving us towards a sustainable future.

Chris Turner is a journalist, best-selling author, and a sought after public speaker. His determination to find tangible solutions to climate change has injected new hope into the environmental movement.

Chris was born in 1973 in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan, into a military family. He has lived in the Canadian North, the American Midwest, Germany, and India. Chris studied history at Queen's University in Kingston Ontario, and journalism at Ryerson, but his obsession with culture and technology led him to Shift Magazine, one of the more influential Canadian magazines of the 1990s. He started there as an intern but stayed on after his 1998 graduation from Ryerson until 2003.
