Polly worked to make ecocide a crime in the international courts, and was a beacon for how to live the brave, bold lives that, at our best, we imagine for ourselves.One year on from her death there’s still time to realise the future she imagined for the Earth.
In her inspiring book Dare To Be Great, Polly doesn’t set out to condemn or frighten, but invites her readers to join the movement from self-care to Earth-care.
On this world earth day this book shares insights from her own remarkable journey, inspiring us to recognise and step into a greatness within – that is not about grandiosity but something far more exciting: aligning with our unique purpose in service of a better world.
“I know it may not yet look like it, but we are sowing the seeds of greatness for countless generations to come. That is the Great Work of our times. Yours and mine.”
