This week I continued talking to the intermediate school about presenting an assembly, and that's going well. Hopefully I will have arranged a date for that within the next few weeks. I've got some really fun ideas for them!
I also finished Eaarth. I really enjoyed it. The end of the book continued to talk about how we have transformed the planet. He suggested quite a few things, and remained quite optimistic, despite how dismal he portrayed the subject. He suggested massive scale alternative energy, but recognized that to make a real difference, it would take years. Developing nations, he said, would have to have energy subsidized by more prominent/developed countries. He also suggested a smaller more diverse agricultural system.
I'm going to start Green Gone Wrong: How Our Economy is Undermining the Environmental Revolution. I've looked through it, and it looks really interesting. It is about how our economy has caused our society to avoid dealing with environmental problems, because it wouldn't be smart economically.
