Campaigns and social media often encourage people to make eco-friendly choices, like using less plastic or driving less. While these actions are important, focusing so much on what people do can distract from the much larger role that businesses and governments play in causing and solving environmental problems.

The ground wavers –a shiver in its frost-hold,where root-pillars slipgrasping for footholdsin the thawed earth’s churn. Branches stretch uneven,green shroudsnow heavy with silence –through ice-skin’s breach,the sunken heart stirs,its iron-mirrors fracturedinto shifting loam. Tree-spines lean,their sky-fingers clutchingat the sun’s bright seam –a forest unravelled,its soil-anchor lostto the heat’s slow bite. What remains:a skeleton grove,spines bent not by growth,but from holding on.

Two paths cross –dialogues etchedin lakebed sandsand space,silentyet howling. Bare traceson a shared canvas,onethen another –rhythms capturedby the press of time. Neither voicenor echoat the water’s edge,still history speaksof survival –step-by-stepside-by-sidethrough connectionsdeep acrossour common earth. This poem is inspired by recent research, which has found 1.5-million-year-old footprints of two different species of human ancestors at the same spot.

Ice-rivers curlthrough time’s skin,a slow unravelheld in the cloak of clouds –stone-bodies linger,their edges lickedby salt-dreams,as sky-rivers pressagainst the boundariesof distant dawns. The air grows heavy,stitched with water’s promiseof centuries stretched thin,a storm-skein bends –snow-cloaks risingto shadow the loss. The earth humsits cold refrain,a warning etched in frost-fire –the weight of a thousand dropsmight yet fail to holdthese frozen roots.

Between green-shadeand ash-breath,the sky-ribbons twist –each thread unwoundby sparks. Bark-spirits scatter,fingers of soot reachingthrough a smoke-skin veilas root-anchors holdthe soil’s old song. Ash-rivers pool,pressing weightinto lung-roadswhere soft breaths falter –the air, now a sievefor unseen spearsto piercewhat remains. Still, a flame-catch shiftsto smoulder’s endlifting the hazeto hear theforest-echomurmur again –leaf by leafstitch by stitch.

In the tension between ecology and economics lies an uncomfortable truth: while both words share a root in “eco” (from the Greek oikos, meaning home), our modern economies often seem to overlook the home we all share – the natural world.
