Insert Back to the Drawing Board Pun

After Thursday’s Almost Presentations, I realized that I (and I probably wasn’t the only one) had some more work to do before our first critique. Mainly, I wanted to reconstruct my generalized map of Wood’s Creek and to better organize and structure my set of videos taken along the trail. For my map, I wanted to keep the idea of identifying the locations of the videos (by the way, by videos I only mean about 10-15 second clips) through numbers on the map, but in general just making the entire map larger and cleaner to make it more visible. And as far as video organization, I was thinking of placing them in chronological order, with brief number introductions before them. However, I’m still wondering about what to do about audio wit it… More thoughts to come!

Everglades Adventure

Over the Feb break, i went to Everglades National Park for a sea kayaking trip with W&L Outing Club. The trip let us embraced and appreciate the true wilderness and we learned to survive on an isolated island. Over the trip, we followed the "Leave no waste" rule from permaculture, which i think is really interesting. We used biodegradable dish washing liquid and other environmentally friendly products when we were on the island and we picked up all the trashes (from us and from other people who left trash and didn't pick them up after) Human leaves footprint wherever they go. What we can do to make our footprints sustainable is to be conscious about the waste we are making and recycle them. It is the same in permaculture design. When we try to build things and make progresses, we have to be conscious of our actions. We had campfire every night and everyone sit in a circle (and we burn the burnable trash such as orange peels and tissues to leave no waste). We also use...

Next Year

I've been thinking about the next Eco-Art class this coming fall. I am excited to see what they will end up doing and the projects that they create. I think theres many ways that they could continue to work with and improve the garden. I also think theres ways in which they could continue to add to/ support our projects to have a greater/longer lasting affect on the garden.

Tires/wheels

We have been doing some research in terms of the wheels/tires we will use for our storage bench. We are looking at both the environmental affects, durability, and ability of the tires/wheels to work in the mud. After seeing the tires (from a tricycle) that we had planned to use, does anyone have any input? Peter thinks that the current tires will be perfectly fine and we had planned not to buy any of our materials, but if we can't use these wheels we will have to buy bigger, more durable tires. However, this will effect the height of our bench and therefore, may delay our progress.
