A small group of volunteers in Stroud, UK decided to get together and invite creative contributors to support Ecocide Law through their poetry, prose, art and photo-journalism, in order to join their voices to help this movement to go global.
Responses were rapid and astonishing including: Forewords by Michael Mansfield QC & Sir Jonathan Porritt and contributions by Maddy Harland Patrick Holden CBE Carol Ann Duffy (the Poet Laureate) Michael Meacher MP Fritjof Capra Rob Hopkins Tony Juniper Charles Eisenstein Polly Higgins Jane Davidson Vandana Shiva Zac Goldsmith Mike Townsend Julian Rose plus many other outstanding writers, poets and artists. It also has a number of historical quotes, dating back to circa 400 BC, which show that love and concern for the Earth are far from a recent cultural phenomena.

Colin Tudge Author of "Why Genes are not Selfish and People are Nice" “To rescue our world we need to re-think across the board; different science, different economics, governance that is on our side, humane and sensitive farming and building – and laws that take the biosphere seriously . But above all we need a new mindset -- a different attitude: from the vile notion that the Earth is just “resource” to a sense of privilege that we should be a part of such wonders. This book takes a significant step along the way”. Please check out our website on the Campaign for Real Farming: Juliet Davenport

We have to seize that opportunity. Ecolibrium Now … offers a thought-provoking contribution to the debate.” |
