Introducing "Cyan": A thought-provoking collection of four linked poems that brings to light the pressing issue of climate change and its impact on our planet. Through a collection of poems, "Cyan" seeks to convey the urgency of the crisis and the consequences of human activity on Earth's delicate balance. The poems reflect the importance of being responsible stewards of the environment and treating the Earth as our cherished partner and mother. By exploring themes of preservation, healing, and collective action, "Cyan" aims to inspire readers to take immediate and meaningful steps in safeguarding our planet for future generations. This project serves as a powerful reminder that we hold the key to reversing the damage caused by climate change and must act together to protect our Earth from further depletion and extinction.
The project is part of the subthemes Climate Crisis and Poetry.
