Summary:

"Inspired by Yoko Ono's 'Grapefruit,' this boxed set includes a Coptic-bound book with 60 Instructions to Save the Planet. Some sincere, some tongue-in-cheek, some meant to shock the reader into action, these instructions call attention to climate change and the real consequences that we're already beginning to experience. Along with the book are 4 Biospheres, wooden globes with accordion books held together magnetically"--Artist's statement at the Vamp & Tramp website, viewed on September 30, 2019. http://www.vampandtramp.com/finepress/m/Midnight-Moon-Press.html
