New Earth-Focused Scoop from AsiaOne
AsiaOne has rolled out its fresh EarthOne segment—because we care about the planet and we know science keeps things humming.
Fashion Chief + Nobel-Worthy Author Take the Stage for Climate Action
Picture this: Vivienne Westwood and Ben Okri dripping in eco‑style, armed with their “Letters to the Earth,” sharing the words on a crisp Monday (Oct 18) right before COP26. They’re on the Globe Theatre stage in London, about to drop a recording that’ll hit the airwaves next week.
Westwood’s Rewilding Rant
Westwood’s note? Think of a land‑based economy that actually opens up natural corridors for wildlife. “Rewilding isn’t about stopping farming and letting everything run wild,” she told Reuters, “it’s about farming that works with nature—letting the soil become healthy again.”
Why Is This Selling?
Since 2019, the global movement has seen big names—from Yoko Ono to Oscar champ Mark Rylance—joining the chorus of eco‑fueled letters. The goal? Raise the bar for climate action worldwide.
The Core Message
“What we’re hauling into the COP run‑up is our wish for everyone, everywhere, to step up their game on climate,” said Kay Michael, co‑founder of the “Letters to the Earth” campaign. “We need folks to speak their vision for a better world.”
Okri’s Poetic‑Dance Power Move
- Okri read his old letter, The Age of Catastrophes, and performed a poetry‑dance piece with his partner.
- His five‑year‑old daughter added her own voice, literally.
- “My letter asks Earth to reproach us,” Okri told us. “We’ve to own up to what we’re doing.”
SOS From the Kids – Little Voices, Big Impact
The kids’ choir, known for their “sound‑tracking” environmental advocacy, channeled their letters into a combo of song and activism. Their goal? Involve more protection for nature and wildlife while demanding justice for the climate‑struck.
Coming Soon
All recordings will drop on Oct 25, a full week pre‑COP26, so we’ll keep the buzz going while Glasgow lights up for the summit.
