Thx for your thoughts. I do that too – weigh the pros/cons of life here/there….

Yesterday, in the class I teach, we talked about the ‘cradle to cradle’ concept and then diagrammed waste processes – all of which were linear and dead ending – not cyclical. Now that you mention the manifest destiny concept it makes…[Read more]

I agree. My feeling is that the next phase of sustainability in the U.S. will move beyond sustainable sites into the realm of ‘behavior-based sustainability’. In other words, the sustainable design of places and objects is critical, but obviously without a fundamental change of values and behavior, even the…[Read more]

I agree that many people struggle to get beyond the basic ‘less than pretty’ realities of natural processes. It certainly is a sticking point in education – especially when…[Read more]

It’s interesting that the U.S. state and municipal governments are shying away from it because of public perception and difficulty finding locations for it. It’s interesting to note that new environmental laws in Europe forced the switch to new, cleaner…[Read more]

This last year I’ve been living overseas and have to confess I haven’t followed much on the Tea Party movement, but I suspect the Party would not favor public policy that curbs individual ‘rights’ to balance environmental…[Read more]

I agree, there are some generalities to be made for sure.

It’s claimed that the U.S. did a better job with (and were the originators of) preserving land in perpetuity as was done by Roosevelt with the first National Parks etc. Whether they were the first I’m not sure, but…[Read more]
