What I've been up to lately:
I'm Treasurer of the neighborhood homeowners association. Boring but useful. I still maintain the ECDOL website. And most importantly, I am on the Education Action Team for the local Sustainability Coalition. The community put together an elaborate and ideal sustainability plan during the year 2008, and different action teams are tasked with beginning to implement toe goals & objectives of that plan. Our task (the Education Team) is to find ways to integrate sustainability concepts into local K-12 curricula. I've taken up weaving again - hadn't done that for over 20 years, since before I moved to Kansas. I'm starting off on the Inkle loom, which I got for Christmas.
Drop me a line now and then. You can still email me at dmcgrath@ksu.edu. |
I am enjoying living in this great community in the beautiful state of Oregon! In January a bunch of us went to the Cascades to go skiing and'or snowshoeing. There was so little snow that we just hiked instead of snowshowing |
The ECONOMY, ENERGY and the ENVIRONMENT: A crash course (22 YouTube videos from 4-20 min. long) by Chris Martenson - I went through these lessons in 3 groups over a 3-day period and towrad the end it began to seem like a murder mystery to me - I couldn't put it down, so to speak. I highly recommend this crash course if you want to have some understanding of what is going on in this crisis today. This guy is a great teacher. PBL Website: I have not yet begun to update the PBL website for Spring, 2009. If you have any links to suggest, please email them to me! . |
