Of course, not stories about climate hypocrites running around the world using vast amounts of fossil fuels. Oh, no

(UK Guardian) This week we’re focusing on the biggest story in the world – climate change. The planet is reaching crisis point and time is running out to make the changes that are crucial if our planet is to survive (such as keeping fossil fuels in the ground).

Yet, the Guardian still hasn’t divested their own portfolio from fossil fuels, and still uses fossil fuels to deliver their paper.

But what on earth have books got to do with the environment? Stories. The power of a story. As TheBookAddictedGirl blogs:

“It makes climate change interesting. It makes us understand how vital environmentalism is. It makes us think. It makes us act. We need to look at all the mistakes made in books that lead to these dystopian worlds and we need to change them.”

So this week we’re celebrating the positive power of stories, whether dystopian YA fiction, picture books, poetry or classic reads, to bring home what we risk losing – and what we can do about it. And it’s International Earth Day on wednesday 22 April too.

And they will spend all week giving kids the propaganda books needed to make them good little Cult Of Climastrology members. Meaning spreading awareness, pushing for more Government, and refusing to practice what they preach.
