The 80-year-old designer, known for her environmental activism, Okri and children's choir SOS From the Kids were among those taking to the stage at the Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London to read their letters in a recording released next week."Rewilding is not to do with stop farming and let everything go, it's to do with start farming in collaboration with nature. Let nature bring the soil back to health," she told Reuters.
"What we're doing now in the run up to COP ... we're really wishing for everyone worldwide to raise their ambition for climate action," Kay Michael, co-founding director of the "Letters to the Earth" campaign, said. Booker Prize winner Okri read his previously published letter "The Age of Catastrophes" and joined his partner in a poetry-dance performance. Their 5-year-old daughter read her own letter.
