Praise for Testimony for Earth
Everyone should read Harringtons’ Testimony for Earth. This book is a compelling guide and a call to action for everyone to make necessary changes to restore and protect the earth. Bob combines his experience as a conservationist, philosopher and educator to give us well-thought-out solutions to make our planet healthy again. Our life values must also change to include respect for all things, live more deeply, and recognize we are connected to everything on earth.

Long time naturalist Bob Harrington joins the tiny handful of deep green ecocentric writers who offer an alternative to the destructive ideology of our age — the inward looking, unshakable worldview that our species is more important than anything else on the planet and that we have a right to rape and pillage nature at will. The book’s foundation rests largely on the eleven principles of the recently published “Manifesto for Earth,” a deepest green secular worldview born of ecological understanding of humanity’s place in nature. The author brings his own stories and a personal spiritual dimension to his interpretation of the manifesto’s unifying principles whose goal is the restoration of earth’s diversity and beauty.
