Do Earth

We know there's a climate emergency but what does that mean we should do? What does a better future look like and how do we get there? Having spent over a decade on the frontlines of climate activism - organizing, campaigning, and holding the powerful to account - Tamsin Omond discovered first-hand that this crisis is too big for one group of activists to solve. It needs everyone. Do Earth is about collective action and community engagement. It's about healing our relationships with nature, each other and ourselves; and feeling inspired about what the next phase of human evolution might be. With practical guidance and gentle encouragement, Do Earth provides a blueprint for reimagining the world and reviving our beautiful planet. Totally brilliant. It's not just a handbook for activism but also a way to live. - Ed O'Brien, Radiohead If you read one book on climate change this year, make it this one. - Jack Harries, co-founder, Earthrise Studio A powerful guide to becoming active from one of the country's most respected and creative campaigners. - Caroline Lucas MP

Richard Fenning has spent three decades advising multinational companies on volatile geopolitics and severe security crises. He was CEO of the British firm Control Risks for 14 years. His career coincided with the glory years of globalization, the rise of China, the tumult of the Middle East wars, a new vicious form of terrorism, the transforming impact of digital technology, and America's retreat from leadership. Offering him a rare insight into what happens when people and organizations come under enormous stress, it dispelled any illusions that the world is ordered, predictable, or fair. But amid the chaos and upheaval, he also found humanity and humor. In a whirlwind tour that takes us from the battlefields of Iraq to the back streets of Bogotà, from the steamy Niger delta to the chill of Putin's Moscow, he looks back with wit and insight on the people and places he has got to know, while also offering some timely thoughts about the relationship between risk and danger in a terrifyingly changeable world.

"Today, mankind has become like the proverbial rabbit in captivity that eats away the wooden cage built to contain him. Weather we like it or not, our wooden earth is man's only wooden cage, and we are under captivity here because we have no other place to migrate to in the awesome universe..." This statement was made by a student who returned home to collect his fees only to see his parent's cocoa farm ceded to gold miners. The miners understood from his statement that they were part of the incisors of man-turn-rabbit; however they continued to uproot the cocoa farmers along with their cocoa trees. The result was a massive ecological damage that engulfed the land of Pehunu and its environs in the Republic of Goldland where each person seeks his personal welfare sidelining environmental issues.
