Sacred Planet
The July/August issue includes a special feature on Sacred Planet. We can relate to planet Earth either as tourists and look at the earth as a source of goods and services for our use, or we can act as Earth Pilgrims and treat the planet with reverence and gratitude.
This issue include articles on surfers as Guardians of the Oceans, the culture of festival and world music by WOMAD co-founder Mark Kidel, and a ‘green response to recession’ by Jonathon Porritt, John Elkington, Nick Robins and Tony Juniper. The July/August issue is eclectic, deeply philosophical and inspiring.
