This book was the reason I finally decided to make a change in my life. I became vegan after the extensive excuse making we are all guilty of. I now make conscious efforts to be greener and live a healthier lifestyle. Healthier for myself, my family and for the planet. The anguish, fear and determination expressed within these pages has shaped me. As I hope it will do for many others. We must work co-operatively to change our fate.

This book gets one more star than I thought I would give it. It's hastily thrown together and you can tell. Despite the sections, it was stretch to find a common theme between pieces apart from being related to the earth and climate change. Some of the pieces are twee and over-sentimental.
Nevertheless, on the whole it's a valuable collection. Certain pieces were good enough that they knocked the breath out of my chest. The collection and its' scrappiness made me think about the scrappiness and wildness of our world. It's not always pretty and curated. It's unfiltered and often unpleasant. That doesn't mean it isn't worth saving.
I think I may now be inspired to write my own letter to the earth.
