The Poetry Society
The Ecopoetry Study Packs
Mario Petrucci
The Poetry Society has commissioned award-winning poet, ecologist and educator Mario Petrucci to develop environment-centred resource packs, designed for schools, young adults and poets.
These deal with oil use and other eco-issues, and are completely free. The theme is essentially mindfulness and responding, personally, to core eco-issues through thought, discussion, poetry and writing. The prospective audience is writers and teachers but it is particularly pertinent to students and the young (from schools up to postgraduate level):

Mario's own website includes a variety of materials, including an analysis of environmental inaction, eco-science and creativity, and an award-winning eco-film: Heavy Water: a film for Chernobyl, all available at:
