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.

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