ABOUT US

Earthrise is the first student-led environmental journal. It was launched on 24th December 2018, 50 years after the Apollo 8 mission captured a world-changing photograph of the Earth rising alone above the lunar horizon. The shift in perspective that Earthrise offered was a powerful spark that has shaped the contemporary environmental movement and, 50 years on from the Earthrise photograph, we hope to be part of the discussion that will drive us towards a better future.

Through essays, news, poetry, reviews, nature writing, interviews, political activism, photography, and more, we aim to challenge the complacency around our current environmental crises – the greatest challenge of the contemporary era – and inspire new ways of seeing our shared world. We accept submissions from students for our online issues. It doesn't matter if you have never written before or had buckets of experience, we want your contributions and thoughts. Earthrise is primarily a place of environmental exploration and expression. You don't need to be an expert to join!
