How To Start A Seed Library
Like-minded people in communities around the world are offering low-cost or free, local, open-pollinated, pesticide-free seeds. Members borrow seeds, grow plants, and allow a plant or two to go to seed at the end of the season. Those seeds are returned to the library, which will grow 10 of each batch to confirm purity before distributing the rest.
It is called The seed library – a place where community members can get seeds for free or for a nominal fee and is run for the public benefit.
Inside the Greenhouse
¨We work to deepen our understanding of how issues associated with climate change are/can be communicated, by creating artifacts through interactive theatre, film, fine art, performance art, television programming, and appraising as well as extracting effective methods for multimodal climate communication. ”

Earth is a Solar Powered Jukebox
Join internationally acclaimed acoustic ecologist, Gordon Hempton, as we listen to sunrise circle the globe, hear snow melt, whales sing and discover that the Earth is music, clear enough to hum all day. And let’s re-examine our widely held belief that the human ear evolved to hear human speech. We will listen to nature sounds that fit neatly into our peak hearing sensitivity (2 kHz-5 kHz) and speculate about the evolutionary consequences of detecting these sounds over great distances. During modern times with our global environmental crises is it enough to hear ourselves or must we, as a species still subject to the laws of survival, once again listen to what the Earth is telling us

QUIET PARKS // Save QUIET for the benefit of all life.
“When you save quiet, you actually wind up saving everything else, too”
Most recently, acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton launched Quiet Parks International (QPI), a first-of-its-kind non-profit that aims to certify and preserve the Earth’s last natural soundscapes from humanity’s racket through “quiet tourism”.
