Do you envision yourself the next Thoreau? Or Emerson? Or maybe you just really want to tell someone about your pet polar bear, your fight to save your favorite tree, or your terrifying bike ride to work in the name of the environment?
If you can shape the future of the fight on global warming in just 200-500 words, then submit your personal essay to the anthology Thoreau’s Legacy: American Stories About Global Warming.The Union of Concerned Scientists is teaming up with Penguin Classics to find your stories that will give a face to this fight.
They say the personal is political, but what can be more personal than the air you breathe and the water you drink.
The deadline is November 15th for your essay. And don’t miss out on sample pieces written by top scientists.
