Engage Our Cities

Read a LA Times blog about a symposium called "Cities, Bicycles and the Future of Getting Around". The author wrote something that I thinks nails the exact needed change in our thinking if we are to avoid environmental catastrophe in the years to come: "What all the speakers kept coming back to was a certain notion of engaged citizenship, that on bikes, or on foot, we had to interact with the city directly, rather than from the air-conditioned distance of our cars." We must interact with our cities more. That means walking or biking to the local corner grocer or bakery instead of driving five miles to a strip mall or MegaMart.

Nutrition 101

There's a book that profiles 101 people from around the world and what
they eat. Each profile has a picture of a person and what he/she eats
in one day. Some of the photos are very striking. You can check out a
sampling of the book here:

It's Been A While

It has been a while since I last posted to this blog. In the meantime,
I've gone off and started a number of other blogs and social media
pages for the company I work for. It has been a fun experience.
Hopefully, I'll be posting more regularly in the future.
