Desert Flowers Legendary Burning Man festival gets an eco-conscience	Judith Lewis	03 Aug 2007	Main Dish
Armen Zeitounian leads the way up the staircase of the house he's living in, a two-story colonial nestled in the smoggy hills north of Los Angeles, complete with a view and a pool and a black Ford Explorer in the driveway. In a room on the top floor, a two-by-six-inch plank, painted white, protrudes about five feet through a hole halfway up the wall; in the next room, the other half of the plank emer ...

I just called to say I love you It's hard out here for a glacier	Kate Sheppard	12 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Feeling down? Probably not as down as the Arctic's melting glaciers. And now you can listen to their sob story by giving the Icelandic glacier Vatnajokull a call, thanks to an art project that helps folks 'connect emotionally' with Europe's largest glacier. With the help of Virgin Mobile and DolphinEAR, Peterson dropped a hydrophone into the glacier, allowing folks from around the world to call in and listen to the creaks, groans, and drips of a dying chunk of ice ...

I am sorry, earth. As I scar you, I scar myself: A Q & A with dancer Monica Favand Campagna She discusses her new environmentally themed show	Kit Stolz	04 Jun 2007	Gristmill
This spring a small-but-innovative dance company in Southern California called TRIP Dance Theatre premiered a production about what poet Gary Snyder calls "the war against nature." The dance was called "Poisoning the Well." Using delicate, Asian-flavored music, played live, the dancers first appeared carrying water and gathering around a well. Slowly the audience could watch the grace and beauty of these dancers, four of them women, literally turned ...

"It is green thinks nature even in the dark"	David Roberts	22 Apr 2007	Gristmill
It took [artist Mary Ellen] Carroll about three months to come up with that phrase [on behalf of the Precipice Alliance] and, she said, 'It should be something you should think about.

Olympic Gold Seattle's Olympic Sculpture Park brings nature to a city setting	Sarah van Schagen	17 Apr 2007	Arts and Minds
Alexander Calder's Eagle against an Olympic mountain backdrop. Photo: iotae via flickr I've never seen the Pacific Northwest. I mean, I live in Seattle, and I look around, but I've never really seen it. I came to this realization while walking the zig-zagged trail at Seattle's new Olympic Sculpture Park with Grist mascot Chip Giller and two OSP guides. It took nearly the entire tour ...

To Tell the Truth An artist invokes the spirit of courageous Americans, past and present	Robert Shetterly	07 Nov 2006	Main Dish
Editor's note: We asked painter Robert Shetterly to share part of a portrait collection and book he's created called "Americans Who Tell the Truth." In addition to eco-legends such as Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carson, Edward Abbey, and even Grist friend Bill McKibben, the artist profiles lesser-known activists who have shown us how to fight loud and proud, every da ...

Imagine That What the warming world needs now is art, sweet art	Bill McKibben	21 Apr 2005	Soapbox
Shall I compare thee to climate change? Here's the paradox: if the scientists are right, we're living through the biggest thing that's happened since human civilization emerged. One species, ours, has by itself in the course of a couple of generations managed to powerfully raise the temperature of an entire planet, to knock its most basic systems out of kilter. But oddly, though we know about it, we don' ...

Uprisings down under	Katharine Wroth	17 Feb 2005	Gristmill
Who says there are no good protests anymore? Australian environmentalists used ice sculptures yesterday to protest their country's refusal to jump on the Kyoto wagon. Maybe frozen icons are just what the U.S. needs! (Insert hackneyed Al Gore joke here.)

I'm about to get on a plane to head to Boston, where I'll attend a meeting at the University of Massachusetts on global climate change and biodiversity.

Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Thursday, 02 May 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash. My Standard Breakfast Boiled Egg was pretty near perfect this morning. Unfortunately, I burned the toast. You win some, you lose some. Happily, the morning was bright and clear with a kiss of warmth in the air, which bodes well for the peas and beans and strawberry plants sprouting in my garden. I'm afraid I've lost th ...

Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Wednesday, 01 May 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash. Today is Canopy Lab Lunch. Every Wednesday at noon, I meet with the small cadre of students who are working or volunteering in my lab on projects related to forest canopy work. Because the Evergreen State College is a small, undergraduate-centered institution, I don't have many graduate students. So I try to cultivate the ...

Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Tuesday, 30 Apr 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash. My boiled egg this morning was a bit on the soft side. I caught a look of concern from my nine-year old daughter, Erika, but I reassured her that it was okay. After breakfast, I spent much of the morning plugging away on a quest for funding for a project that started five years ago, to build a forest canopy walkway on o ...

Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Monday, 29 Apr 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash. My day starts as most do: calling upstairs for my two children to rouse themselves for the beginning of the day. I then put on an egg to boil, a slice of toast to brown. I've been eating the same breakfast for the last three years, and even though the items of food are the same, I have come to learn that each day's breakfast ...
