Just looked up the book, which I'd love to read - at least from Spring it's way out of our price range - is there any pdf? Apologies if this has already been answered, thanks, Alan

thanks for forwarding this edward. it looks like a good thing to participate in. i recently came across https://www.missionlifeforce.org/, initiated by lawyer polly higgins who is working to make ecocide a crime punishable in the international courts. not specifically arts-related but it seems like a really concrete positive thing to do.

Scientists believe we have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown. Carbon emissions and temperatures keep rising; ecological collapse has begun. On this course we are likely?to see abrupt and irreversible devastation. The time for denial is over ? we know the truth about climate change. It is time to act. ? This is an invitation to write a letter of response to this crisis. This?could?be a letter to or from the Earth,?future or past generations, those who hold positions of power and influence, other species. The idea is open to interpretation: it can come from a personal place, be dramatic in form, be a call to action. The?invitation is open to all -?to think beyond the human narrative and to bear witness to the scale and horror of this crisis. This is an opportunity to ask how this existential threat affects the way we wish to live our lives and the action we take.' The full call-out is at https://www.letterstotheearth.com/ but the deadline is 12 midnight on 29th March, ie. tomorrow - so if you want to act, act now! _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour -- helen varley jamieson he...@creative-catalyst.com http://www.creative-catalyst.com http://www.upstage.org.nz
