Robert Redford & Youth Speaks in Cahoots Against Climate Change

Before Angelina Jolie cared about refugees and Al Gore found the truth inconvenient, Robert Redford worked to raise awareness about environmental and social issues using art. Out of his activism, the Sundance Film Festival was born. Now, Redford turns his sights from film to poetry. Working with Youth Speaks, Redford is calling all young poets to write about their concern for global warming. Finally, young writers are given the chance to join the ranks of such esteemed poetic forbearers as Charlie Sheen, Leonard Nimoy, and (who can forget?) Jewel’s A Night Without Armor. (Thanks to lack of interest in these previous poetry volumes, a slice of rainforest remains alive.)
