The public & parliamentary campaign for the 1978 Child Protection Act in the UK is analyzed, highlighting the DofL between these spheres that facilitated the bill's passage. While proponents made extensive use of pending legislation & research from the US, little or no investigation appears to have been done on the extent of child pornography in the UK; the role of Mary Whitehouse's Viewers & Listeners Assoc (VALA) in orchestrating PO is discussed within the context of blacklash against the so-called "permissive statutes" of the late 1960s & 1970s. The cautious response of the Home Office & Government & its exploitation by the Conservative Opposition are examined; the "bulldozing" presentation of the bill to Parliment through the sponsorship of Cyril Townsend is also documented. The complementary role played by VALA & Townsend & the unusual speed with which the Act was passed are discussed, noting that further backlash legislation may be introduced through the same process.

The "Earthrise" photograph, taken on the 1968 Apollo 8 mission, became one of the most significant images of the 20th Century. It triggered a profound shift in environmental awareness and the potential for human unity-inspiring the first Earth Day in 1970. Taking inspiration from these events 50 years later, we initiated Project Earthrise at our 2020 annual conference of inVIVO Planetary Health. This builds on the emergent concept of planetary health, which provides a shared narrative to integrate rich and diverse approaches from all aspects of society towards shared solutions to global challenges. The acute catastrophe of the COVID-19 pandemic has drawn greater attention to many other interconnected global health, environmental, social, spiritual, and economic problems that have been underappreciated or neglected for decades. This is accelerating opportunities for greater collaborative action, as many groups now focus on the necessity of a "Great Transition". While ambitious integrative efforts have never been more important, it is imperative to apply these with mutualistic value systems as a compass, as we seek to make wiser choices. Project Earthrise is our contribution to this important process. This underscores the imperative for creative ecological solutions to challenges in all systems, on all scales with advancing global urbanization in the digital age-for personal, environmental, economic and societal health alike. At the same time, our agenda seeks to equally consider our social and spiritual ecology as it does natural ecology. Revisiting the inspiration of "Earthrise", we welcome diverse perspectives from across all dimensions of the arts and the sciences, to explore novel solutions and new normative values. Building on academic rigor, we seek to place greater value on imagination, kindness and mutualism as we address our greatest challenges, for the health of people, places and planet.
