Peter Dykstra: "What else do you have for me?"

Peter Dykstra is an accomplished environmental journalist, advocate, and, on a personal level, a dear mentor of mine. In a few short months, from the end of 2016 to early 2017, he lost his eldest son to suicide, the results of the presidential election threatened certain doom for all that he had accomplished in his career, and a freak bacterial infection left him a a paraplegic. This conversation explores how he moves forward despite the obstacles he still confronts every day. 

Peter's commentary on environmental politics can be found at NPR's Living on Earth and Environmental Health News.
