John Robbins
Author of the newly released, The New Good Life: Living Better Than Ever in an Age of Less. He is also author of the international bestsellers: Diet for a New America, The Food Revolution, Healthy at 100, The Awakened Heart and Reclaiming our Health.
The only son of the founder of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire, John Robbins was groomed to follow in his father's footsteps, but chose a very different path. Considered by many to be one of the most eloquent and powerful spokespersons in the world for a sane, ethical and sustainable future, John received a standing ovation when he spoke at the United Nations. He has been a featured and keynote speaker at major conferences sponsored by Physicians for Social Responsibility, Beyond War, Oxfam, the Sierra Club, the Humane Society of the United States, UNICEF, and many other organizations dedicated to creating a healthy, just, and sustainable way of life.
John is the Founder and Board Chair Emeritus of EarthSave International (earthsave.org), and the Board Chair of YES! (yesworld.org). His work has been featured in The San Francisco Chronicle, The Los Angeles Times, Chicago Life, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and many other major newspapers and magazines. An hour long PBS special titled Diet for a New America highlighted John's life and work. He has made guest appearances on Oprah, Donahue and Geraldo. John is the recipient of the Rachel Carson Award, the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Award, the Peace Abbey's Courage of Conscience Award, and Green America's Lifetime Achievement Award.
