Letters to the Earth Audiobook

(Available via Audible)

A profound, powerful and moving collection of 100 letters from around the world responding to the climate crisis, introduced by Emma Thompson.

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 Earth is 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 a callout from Culture Declares 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 the way it faithfully sustains us. But they are also an opportunity to act, to respond to this crisis. To put pen to paper and make your voice heard. Includes contributions from activist Yoko Ono, actor Mark Rylance, poet Kae Tempest, author Laline Paull, illustrator of The Lost Words Jackie Morris, novelist Anna Hope, environmental writer Jay Griffiths, Green Party MP Caroline Lucas, and mythologist and storyteller Dr Martin Shaw.

“[Letters to the Earth] is an amazing project, and I support it wholeheartedly…By healing the Earth, we heal ourselves. By loving it, we love ourselves. And by telling its stories, we tell our own and ensure that they will continue. All power to this amazing project.” (Joanne Harris)

“An outpouring of grief, anger, hope, love and loss – a collection of letters penned by many thousands have been distilled into this powerful book.
