CLIMERICK :Fast Fashion That’s Sold To Us Cheap

 KEEPING CLIMATE CONCERN

CONVERSATIONS ALIVE with... 

St Cuthbert’s Island, off Lindisfarne, Northumbria.

An islet under threat from rising sea levels. The islet

has been adopted by Eco-Verses as

a symbol of the global risk to low-lying places.

Fast fashion that’s sold to us cheap

Should really prevent us from sleep

For its corporates don’t care

They’re a total nightmare

With throw-aways piled high and steep.

'The Letter’: A film showing an outworking of 'Laudato Si’ The Pope’s Leadership Encyclical on Climate Change & CLIMERICK

 KEEPING CLIMATE CONCERN

CONVERSATIONS ALIVE with... 

St Cuthbert’s Island, off Lindisfarne, Northumbria.

An islet under threat from rising sea levels. The islet

has been adopted by Eco-Verses as

a symbol of the global risk to low-lying places.

We were meeting with a local group of  members of The Iona Community, a dispersed community of people concerned about Justice and Peace issues. One of the group recommended that we should watch 'The Letter' which is a You Tube Original looking at the issues of Climate change through the lens of five representatives of groups of people profoundly affected by the changes which are already happening. For anyone sharing these concerns this is well worth the hour and a half it takes to watch - and I thought it appropriate on this website to frame this invitation in a Climerick!

If you want our sick world to get better,

Take an hour or so watching The Letter.

It’s there on You Tube

And it’s written for YOU,

From The Pope: a true Eco-trendsetter.
