Planet Youth 24.3

Editorial: The Narnia of Environmentalism

They open a door and enter a different world. Narnia ... the enchanted land beyond the wardrobe, the secret country encountered countless times in C.S. Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia." This is the place where children fought and won against the forces of evil. They routed the White Witch's army, created good laws, kept the peace, saved the good trees from being cut down, and liberated young dwarfs and satyrs from being sent to school. ...

The youth environmental movement is a modern Narnia tale.
