'Makes sense of the
climate crisis in a whole new way' MAGID MAGID How can we begin
to talk about what is happening to the world? How can we explain to our
children, and to ourselves, what the future of our planet might look
and feel like? Letters to the Earthis the beginning of a new
conversation. One that attempts to answer some of these questions by
listening to the voices of parents and children; politicians and poets;
songwriters and scientists.
Gathering together over 100 letters
written in response to the climate emergency, each entry begins to give
language to the unspeakable, and shows how our collective power is
present when we are ready to slow down and listen to each other.
It's natural to feel worried or concerned about what the future of
the earth holds. These letters are an opportunity to reflect on our
connection to the planet and each other in times of crisis.
They
are also an opportunity to act and respond to this crisis. To put pen
to paper and make your voice heard. Includes contributions
from activist Yoko Ono, actor Mark Rylance, poet Kate Tempest, author
Laline Paull, illustrator of The Lost Words Jackie Morris, novelist Anna
Hope, environmental writer Jay Griffiths Green Party MP Caroline Lucas. , Booker prize Winning author Ben Okri and actor Freya Mavor.
