![]() ![]() is the only ecological design conference developed and managed by students... working to promote the deeper understanding and broader application of sustainable design principles. "We live on a water planet. Its complex properties have been inspirational for science and art since time immemorial. As water sculpts our physical landscape, it manifests energy to form civilizations or erode them. Its power is shadowed by continuing degradation and scarcity throughout the world. As designers, we are called to a confluence to understand our interdependence and connection to water." ![]() Descrption: Lena River Delta (Visible Earth v1 ID: 18024) Public Domain Credit: Image provided by the USGS EROS Data Center Satellite Systems Branch.

As a result of these collective actions of "place-making," social capital has increased, thus revitalizing the community, and expanded social networks among residents have stimulated a sense of well-being..." - Jan C.

Thomas Professor of Creative Writing, Kenyon College & Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University Author: Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art ![]() "We have lived by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives, so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption that what is good for the world will be good for us. . . We must recover the sense of the majesty of the creation and the ability to be worshipful in its presence. For it is only on the condition of humility and reverence before the world that our species will be able to remain in it." - Wendell Berry, American man of letters, academic and farmer Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 01:52 AM
![]() "In a new initiative designed to assist scholars with teaching, study, and the publication of academic works, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will distribute, free of charge, high-resolution digital images from an expanding array of works in its renowned collection for use in academic publications... effective immediately. Scholars – in higher education and in museums – have been struggling with the question of how digitization might help to enable, rather than hinder, scholarly communications. For all involved, it is obvious that, when faced with an important directional challenge, the Metropolitan is providing decisive leadership." ![]() "...often referred to simply as "the Met", is one of the world's largest and most important art museums." (wikipedia) "It first opened on February 20, 1872 with a mission to collect, preserve, and display works of art spanning 5,000 years of world culture from every part of the globe, and to educate the public about art – is the most comprehensive art museum in the Western Hemisphere with a collection now including more than two million works of art." ![]() Title: Deutsch: Einschiffung nach Kythera Artist: Watteau, Antoine Source: Wikipedia, public domain License: GNU Free Documentation License, The Yorck Project Thursday, February 01, 2007 - 10:19 AM

![]() The ocean can no longer be used as a dump! ![]() Course of Action: instead of lobbying the government for action on ocean-pollution issues, we study the problem ourselves and recommend practical solutions. We undertake scientific studies to identify sources of pollution - from leaking sewer pipes, offshore sewage disposal, leaking coastal landfills or septic systems. ![]() They test for viruses in the ocean, creeks and groundwater to determine if human sources of pollution are present, and what are the likely sources. In cooperation with Santa Barbara County, Heal the Ocean pioneered both the use of environmental DNA testing and virus testing in the local area. Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 10:24 PM
