President's Letter

Mohammed Sultan

Dear readers, Inside the Hourglass

When Warwick Sustainability reached out to us and wanted to do a ‘sustainability’ themed magazine, I was a bit hesitant. I didn’t know how we could adapt this seemingly dull word to our format of the magazine. So I went to our exec team, asked for suggestions, and here we are. “Inside the Hourglass” encapsulates a sense of timelessness, a feeling of fear, an urgency, a call for action. All of our writers and poets and even the recipes found in this magazine are an attempt to deal with this great catastrophe that stands before us. The climate is changing, the earth is warming up, the scenes are apocalyptic. The ice is melting, the waters are rising, everyday we move towards disaster.

This issue exhibits a wide variety of interpretations of this title

“Inside the Hourglass” and I urge you to note your own feelings and thoughts around this title.

Yours, Mohammed
