Frustrated by political gridlock in Washington, writer Bill McKibben and some fellow Vermonters decided they had to do something to draw attention to the shrinking window of opportunity we have to curb global warming.

OnEarth's George Black talks with him about how Step It Up 2007 is building a mass movement -- fast.
