Dr. John Francis is a global environmentalist, National Geographic Society Education Fellow, and teacher. Witnessing an environmental catastrophe as a young man put him on a unique personal journey involving the environment and intersecting human dynamics. His commitment and work have included 22 years of walking (completely excluding motorized vehicles) and 17 years of silence and listening.

Now through his involvement with The Interstellar Foundation and Humanity In Deep Space he is extending his insights and experiences to confront similar existential challenges off our planet as well.

 Join John for an interactive conversation surrounding his life, work and thoughts on these matters and implications for the future on Earth and beyond.
