“What Would We Do If ...?” Thinking Big on Spaceship Earth
Buckminster Fuller once likened our planet to a spaceship hurtling through the universe. Since no “instruction book” came with “Spaceship Earth,” he cautioned that to survive, we need to learn how to look at the planet as one whole system, and conserve resources accordingly. He urged us to “think big”.

Saving The World While Enjoying Its Beauty
An Idyllic Island Provides Some Practical Idealists An Ideal Setting To Find New Ways To Save The World by Anthony Zolezzi I have just gotten back from spending four days in Iceland with the most eclectic, brilliant and galvanizing group of individuals I ever had the pleasure of meeting.

The ride on route 20 west from Utica to Cazenovia, NY was about as agreeable as one could hope for. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and the land was flat.

Starbucks Wastes Large Amounts of Water
I came across this rather disheartening story this morning. Starbucks, the famous and increasingly ubiquitous coffee shop, is in trouble with environmentalists (including this one) for irresponsible water use. It seems that it is company policy to have a faucet running below the counter of every Starbucks on the planet at all times. The company claims that this keeps the washing area hygienic. As you may have guessed, running faucets in every Starbucks on the planet (yes, all 10,000 of them) adds up to quite a bit of water--23.4 million liters a day, to be exact. Should we harvest resources on other planets to save ours?Yes! The sooner, the better!
