Poet Caroline Burrows / VerseCycle wrote 'It's Not Easy Being Green: A Year of Trying to be Environmentally Friendly' a verse a day for an entire year, about her successes and failures in trying to lower her carbon footprint, during what turned out to be a very eventful year, all summarised in her final verse No.367: I started these verses to try being eco-friendly/I didn't realise they'd become like my diary/As well as being greener/I got an MA;Dated a Mr.
Wrong/Had a break-down/Friends showed me better ways/Two very special people died/No-one predicted a pandemic/All this nearly made me forget about Bloody Brexit/It's not easy being green; But maybe being greener was the easy bit. The project went from daily posts on social media; to a social engagement video project with guest speakers recording verses during lockdowns in the pandemic; and was shortlisted for the Sustainability First Arts Prize.
