Blog Entry #1

Find one line, quotation or statistic within the first two chapters that impacted the way you think about the environmental issues that our world is facing. Hopefully, the reading challenged you and/or introduced you to new ideas, but if not you can write about that as well. There is no word or page requirement because those are the worst, so just write as much as it takes to get across what you want to say. We look forward to reading and discussing your thoughts and insights!


"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Howard Thurman

Hello Environmental Fellows!

Welcome to our very own corner of the internet, where we will be discussing the various readings (and watching if it is in video form) we will do on the topic of Sustainable/Ecological Design. The first reading is from The Nature of Design by David Orr, pages 3-32 or Part I: The Problem of Ecological Design. Since we are still in the midst of midterm week, I will post the prompt(s) by Monday so that you guys can get started on this over Fall Break.

Hopefully you have all managed to survive this week; let me know if you have any questions!
