So I looked up Kresany's show on KQED, and found a great interview with Barbara Kingsolver. Kingsolver politely states her environmental position in her new book: Flight Behavior.

She illustrates that reading books and engaging in conversation is a key to being a good citizen to the community in which one lives . The books act as "a new medicine" to cure what currently affects you, or at least begin a search for an elixir.
