A Letter from the River Roding

On the eve of the March for Clean Water, I recorded (with @letterstoearth_ ) a letter from the river I love to the human world, imagining what this ancient river would say to us if it could speak.

“The most important thing you need to do is to take my voice & intereses into account in all the decisions you make about me. And you need to do this not just because I have an inherent right to exist, and not just because you rely on me for your own existence, but because I believe fundamentally you miss me, the connection we used to have, and the river I used to be.”

Looking forward to seeing lots of you who already speak for our rivers at the march tomorrow to make our voices heard.
