Britain's Guardian newspaper has initiated a bold project called Keep It In The Ground to help reduce the use fossil fuels and help to support alternative energy developments. The goal is to spread ideas of hope by showcasing innovative solutions to help reverse climate change and reduce pollution. The paper will offer articles that highlight practical actions towards meeting this objective.

One installment of the Guardian's initiative is a series of poems on the climate. Each powerful reading in Our Melting, Shifting, Liquid World utilizes the spoken word talent of a well known actor such as Jeremy Irons, James Franco, and Kelly McDonald among others. One example is Turbines in January by Colette Bryce.

The Guardian is leading this creative initiative that other media groups should follow. WHB
