Ecological Revolution in Grafton, MA - 2012
added to website December 3, 2012 http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/12/02/1165557/-The-Next-Industrial-Revolution-Is-Ecological
From George Mokray's Kos newletter:
According to a recent New Yorker article on the subject:
However, I believe there are a number of ecological design solutions that can be used to slow or reverse climate change. Unfortunately, they are not "heroic" engineering projects that will also change the color of the sky. Slow and steady biome restoration, household by household installation of efficient cookstoves, changes in diet and agriculture just don't have the panache of space umbrellas or pipelines to the clouds. One organization which has consistently promoted ecological and systems design in response to climate change and other problems is the Buckminster Fuller Challenge and tomorrow in NYC they will announce their 2012 award winner Previous winners include John Todd's work on ecological remediation for the coal ravaged lands of Appalachia: http://www.youtube.com/... |
