DomeNation, with Jerome Armstrong and David All, has put up the second part of the interview with JK. We blogged about the first part here.

Check it out.

Hattip to beachmom for the heads-up on Part II.

UPDATE: Yes, the first minute or so of part 2 is the same as part 1. In a post which is no longer available on his website, David All indicated that they wanted each video to be able to stand on its own. If you keep watching you’ll see that they do contain different material.

JK had a lot to say about “This Moment on Earth” in this edition. And speaking of TMOE, the Pittsburgh City Paper published an interview with JK & THK.

Why do so many of the activists you profile not consider themselves environmentalists?

Some people have come to see [the term] in the pejorative, and we wanted them to see, “Wait a minute: You can do good things, and be smart about the environment, without worrying about whether you’re an ‘environmentalist’ or not.”

Many environmental books address personal choices, like what kind of light bulbs to buy. Why focus on activists?

We thought that would inspire people more than just saying, “You can do this, you can do that.” Those kind of stories underscore that you as an individual can go out and make a difference. This book is meant to empower people.

Did you find it sobering how often regular citizens have fought just to get existing laws enforced?

It’s incredible. And thank God for those patriotic citizens who do it. I mean, Rick Dove is one of my favorite stories in the book. Here’s a guy who’s 67 years old, he’s been a Marine for a career. Two tours of duty in Vietnam. He earned the right to retire quietly. But he has felt compelled to continue to work for the country by being a Riverkeeper, and protecting the Hudson river.
