David Gessner wants to change the way people write about nature.  Instead of the traditional stories about wild animals in pristine landscapes, he calls for a style of nature writing that's messy, even raucous, and includes an often-overlooked animal:  people.  He talks with Anne Strainchamps about his book "My Green Manifesto," the story of a kayak trip down Boston's charles River with his friend Dan Driscoll.
