Is it humor?
No, no. I’m not going to start questioning Starre’s seriousness about global warming – I think the picture is very cute. However, this video by Sarah Silverman is supposed to be humor about global warming. Maybe it’s because I don’t like Sarah Silverman, but I just don’t find the whole…

Creative Reuse Centers— An Artist's Dream
As an artist, finding new places to obtain cheap and interesting materials is always a challenge. Fortunately creative reuse centers are a great way to find inspiration while giving old materials new life. The East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse on the Oakland/Berkeley border is a nonprofit corporation “devoted to…
Report: Climate Change–Local Solutions to a Global Crisis
Last week, I flew home to New England to spend the holidays with my family. It seems that while I’ve been hemmed in by the Los Angeles freeway system, my parents were overtaking me on the environmental superhighway. “We’re going to a town meeting about global warming on Saturday [Dec.…
Go Nancy, Go Nancy! Go Ms. Speaker of the House!
In my former life as a political blogger on Jakeneck, which alas, no longer exists, I would rant and rave about politicians’ dirty little anti-environmental votes.

Polling Place Photo Project
Although I’m pissed that Prop. 87 didn’t get passed as a result of yesterday’s election, I am psyched that the cool design folks at AIGA, Design Observer, Design for Democracy, NewsAssignment.net, and Winterhouse Institute have created The Polling Place Photo Project, a nationwide experiment in citizen journalism that seeks to…

The victory that George Bush was enjoying left millions around the world asking; “How could this happen?” Last week, my friend Michael Shea, was on Sam Seder’s radio show, The Majority Report, on Air America…
Arcosanti
For some reason, in my life, Arcosanti keeps appearing whenever I’m doing research on something else. I’m drawn to this experiment in human living and I think that means that someday I will end up there. Paolo Soleri, and architect who studied with Frank Lloyd Wright, is the father of Arcosanti,…
Stars Come Down to Earth
Not surprisingly, now that environmentalism is ‘hot’, the stars are coming out in support of various green causes. Of course some notable celebrities have long shined light on various aspects of the environmental movement (Leo, Darryl, and Woody, I’m talkin’ about you!) So I was really excited when I found…
