Thoreau’s Legacy: Your Personal Stories About Global Warming

Kelly Dunleavy — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 00:08:29 +0000

Do you envision yourself the next Thoreau? Or Emerson? Or maybe you just really want to tell someone about your pet polar bear, your fight to save your favorite tree, or your terrifying bike ride to work in the name of the environment?

If you can shape the future of the fight on global warming in just 200-500 words, then submit your personal essay to the anthology Thoreau’s Legacy: American Stories About Global Warming.

Dearly departed encouraged to do their bit for Global Warming

Hi. I have just seen this interesting article that I thought you might like to read also.

“A local authority on the edge of Greater Manchester has noted that one group of Britons are failing to do their bit to reduce Britain’s Carbon emissions.

The dead in the jurisdiction of Tameside Council are simply not pulling their weight. The council has now arrived at a rather daring solution.”

Imagination, Inspiration & the Next Generation

One of the things I’m enjoying most about being an author, is the chance to go new places, meet inspiring people and make new connections. I recently had the pleasure of meeting the folks from Green Options Media at the Green Festival in San Francisco.

I’m thrilled to be asked to be a regular blogger here at Eco Child’s Play. I want to tell you a bit about myself and what I hope to contribute here. I am the author of the Gaia Girls Book Series, a wellness columnist, speaker and presenter, and doing my best to live lightly on the earth.

The first book in the seven-book Gaia Girls series, Gaia Girls Enter the Earth, came out in 2006 and won several awards, including the National Outdoor Book Award. I routinely present to schools and groups, email and blog with my young readers. Let your hearts be light…there is a real passion brewing in the next generation!
