DRIVING CARS ON TERMITE GUTS

Hi everyone,

Wow!!! From Termite guts to running our family cars. Tell your parents the future is near and maybe a bit weird.

HELPING WILLIE SMITS

Hi again Everyone,


The stuff in the link below (don't forget to scroll down) could really help Willie Smits with his rain forest activities in Borneo (see my earlier posts on Willie).


If anybody knows how to reach Prince Charles or the UK energy and climate change secretary, I hope they'll forward my posts about Willie, who I think is a great man,

A GREAT IDEA - GREEN MAPS BY YOUTH WORLDWIDE

Hi,

I just learned about these green maps kids have been making. Hope all kids who don't already know about them will show this link to their teachers, which I'm going to do this week. I think it's a terrific idea.

CLEANTECH HOUSES IN NEW ORLEANS - LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

Hi Everyone,

This guy, William McDonough, is an architect who wrote a book called Cradle to Cradle, which kids can easily read. About designing architectural stuff including houses so re-use or return to nature are part of the design from the beginning - work with nature instead of against it.

I went to New Orleans with my parents the year after Katrina and it was a mess. I just saw this picture (follow link) of a cradle to cradle house that he designed in New Orleans. It's great to build New Orlens for the future, not in the past.
