Earth Day – 22nd April

It’s Earth Day today! And our resident poet, Lucie, who’s pen-name is Doris K Williams, wrote a beautiful poem called Heal the World. She also designed a poster for her poem, which we wanted to share with you all. 

The first Earth Day was in 1970, and it mobilised millions of Americans from all walks of life to birth the modern environmental movement. Since then, Earth Day has evolved into the largest civic event on Earth, activating billions across 192 countries to safeguard our planet and fight for a brighter future.

Earth Day says,

“Earth Day is a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, encouraging us to come together and take action for a healthier planet and brighter future. Through various events, toolkits, and initiatives, we aim to raise awareness, inspire change, and foster a deeper connection with nature. Let’s unite in our efforts to protect the Earth today and for generations to come. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and create a more sustainable world.”

Last year, we also filmed Lucie reading her poem, complemented by BSL by George, who attended the newsletter workshop last year. Ben edited the film from Appleyard.
