The blog will be down during the winter break. We'll look to have it up and running again in mid-January.
Best,

Discussion Question 12
Hi all -- here's your final question for the semester. Actually, I'll give you a choice between two questions:
1. Think about the environment-themed conversations you had over the Thanksgiving break. What did you learn? Is it best to be provocative, conciliatory, or something else? Which arguments and framings from our readings and discussions resonated best with the people you talked with? What did your conversation teach you about how best to generate constructive change?
OR
2. Look back at the "Leverage Points" piece that you read for Tuesdays class, and to our class exercise. What does the future look like for the environmental movement? What is it going to take to generate positive, lasting action?
Looking forward to reading your final thoughts as our semester draws to a close. Happy blogging!

Discussion Question 11
Well folks, just a couple more blog responses to write. (We'll take next week off with the Thanksgiving break). Let's try a nice open question this time.
I'd like you to give your impressions of the book we're reading at the moment in the light of other calls for action we've seen this semester. What do you make of the "Cradle to Cradle" vision spelled out by William McDonough and Michael Braungart? Are they on the right track? Or is their optimism misplaced?
Happy writing!

Dear Friends,
Please join us at our upcoming Senate briefing, bringing together four prominent scientists and four leading evangelical Christians to share their concerns about climate change. Rarely have these two groups spoken with one voice, but they are coming together with a shared sense of urgency about the profound implications of climate change for human health and for the natural support systems that sustain all life on Earth, and about the political paralysis in Washington on this issue.
Featuring: Dr. Eric Chivian, Rev. Richard Cizik, Dr. Jim McCarthy, Rev. Joel Hunter, Dr. Nancy Knowlton, Rev. Gerald Durley, Ms. Deborah Fikes, and Dr. Tom Lovejoy (who will be filling in for Dr. Edward Wilson).
