Calling all people to become stewards of the earth, this exquisite
edition is a heartfelt plea for the planet's preservation. The
Declaration of Interdependence—both an enlightening creed and a
passionate call to action—was composed by David Suzuki and a team
of activists and environmentalists in 1992, in recognition of the
United Nations' Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. This compelling
statement of environmental principles progresses through three
stages: “This We Know,” “This We Believe,” and “This We
Resolve.” In this exquisitely designed edition, artist Michael
Nicoll Yahgulanaas brings this powerful creed to life using imagery
from cultures around the world, interpreted through his dynamic
Haida Manga style. The declaration is followed by an inspiring
essay by David Suzuki. An epilogue by Tara Cullis, president and
co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation, reveals the history and
achievements of the foundation, one of North America's most active
and successful environmental organizations. Published in
partnership with the David Suzuki Foundation.
What if we could love the planet as much as we love one another?
"Warm, wise, and overflowing with generosity, this is a love story
so epic it embraces all of creation. Yet another reminder of how
blessed we are to be in the struggle with elders like David and
Tara." - Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis What You Won't Do for Love is an
inspiring conversation about love and the environment. When artist
Miriam Fernandes approached the legendary eco-pioneer David Suzuki
to create a theatre piece about climate change, she expected to
write about David's perspective as a scientist. Instead, she
discovered the boundless vision and efforts of Tara Cullis, a
literature scholar, climate organizer, and David's life partner.
Miriam realized that David and Tara's decades-long love for each
other, and for family and friends, has only clarified and
strengthened their resolve to fight for the planet. What You Won't
Do for Love transforms real-life conversations between David, Tara,
Miriam, and her husband Sturla into a charmingly novel and poetic
work. Over one idyllic day in British Columbia, Miriam and Sturla
take in a lifetime of David and Tara's adventures, inspiration, and
love, and in turn reflect on their own relationships to each other
and the planet. Revealing David Suzuki and Tara Cullis in an
affable, conversational, and often comedic light, What You Won't Do
For Love asks if we can love our planet the same way we love one
another.
