interestingly sustainable developments
I’m really excited to be taking a colloquium next semester called “the science and politics of climate change,” taught by two really revered professors in the honors program. I fantasize about someday getting Fulbright Grant to go to Newfoundland to research the relevance of Maritime vernacular architecture to developing ideas of sustainable living. In general I’m interested in researching traditional folkways, which I in no way revere as unsullied by Capitalism but think of as necessary for the future of sustainable practice. This class involves blogging the climate crisis as it occurs, so I’m thinking of setting up a separate blog for issues of peak oil, climate change, powering down, and sustainable living suggestions.
