Earth Eaarth Matters because…

It’s the only planet where rainbows are possible.
It’s our only home.
It’s the place where we are born and where we die.
It’s the place of our memories, of those whom we cherish.

It’s everything that WE have, but also everything that ALL LIFE has.

Eaarth matters because life matters.

If Eaarth fails, we die.
If Eaarth fails, EVERYTHING dies.

We share the planet with billions of other living beings who are being forced to endure climate change when they have done nothing to cause it.

That includes non-human animals who have never left the ocean and human animals who have never known the comforts of consumerism.

It isn’t right to let so few hurt so many. It’s about justice.
Everyone deserves a home they can thrive in.

We need to understand that climate change is not a future threat; it’s happening NOW, influenced daily by our worldviews, choices, and actions.

We need to recognize the LIMITS OF GROWTH and respect these limits, as Eaarth explains wisely.

We cannot TAKE and TAKE and TAKE from our Mother and forget that she is losing all that we TAKE.

We have no right to destroy as we do, so regularly and THOUGHTLESSLY, and now we can never make up for the extent of the destruction we have wrought on the other life that makes up our planet.

After Typhoon Mangkhut tore up my city, trees fell, electric wires fell, and kids were told they cannot play in the puddles.

Nature fills me up and makes me whole. I want this nature to continue to be able to be a part of me.

Eaarth is evidence of the incredible power of human animals. We were strong enough to turn Earth into Eaarth – we are strong enough to build ourselves a sustainable future.

After reading your book, I wrote a sci-fi story about a pregnant woman fleeing Eaarth to try and save her baby in 2118. She makes it to a small planet covered in water, but she drowns, seeing the skeletons of other life who also destroyed their home planets and tried to flee to a new one. The point being to take care of the planet we have.

It surrounds people with pressing facts many choose to ignore. It is the audible, legible, comprehensible cry of our Mother.

It is hard to get people to fully understand the magnitude of the situation, and we need books that do it.

This is our home, our provider, and many people aren’t aware of, or don’t care about, the damage we’ve done to Her.

There is so much information to know about the changes in the environment’s well-being, and the book neatly organizes it all into a compelling and informative piece that urges us to ACT.

Empathy is our tool and we should use it; our individual choices can shape our collective conscience.

We can’t change the past, but we can choose how to move forward.

We must learn to be relatives – to the rocks, to the plants, to the water, to the other-than-human beings, to the fellow human beings, to the soil itself – not the owners, the conquerors, the consumers, and destroyers.

She won’t wait for us to figure ourselves out much longer. We’ll be homeless.

Where we choose to go from here matters.
