In the autumn of 2007 more than 100 high school students were asked
how they felt about global warming and worldwide environmental
destruction. Coached by their award-winning teaching, Michael
Sweet, these students responded poignantly through the medium of
poetry, fiction, non-fiction and art. Their passionate responses
were collected and published as Down to Earth.
Down to Earth features forewords by Canada's First Woman in Space
Roberta Bondar and Justin Trudeau son of the legendary Canadian
Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau.
Down to Earth has received rave reviews from many of Canada's
leaders: "Nature has inspired poetry for centuries, and it is clear
that it continues to do so today. It is inspiring to see how the
students of Lester B. Pearson have responded to the environmental
changes we are beginning to witness. There are important lessons
here for all of us, especially adults. David Suzuki
Co-founder of The David Suzuki Foundation
"Writing for a cause is exactly what everyone should be doing.
And, adolescence is the perfect place to start. It is wonderful
that these young people (led by Michael Sweet) are able to burst
out of the oppressive peer pressure of self-indulgence that has
turned youth into market targets. Their ideas will crystallize and
grow through this expression and they will be put to positive use,
which will be urgently needed in the coming decades." Robert
