How making London greener could make Londoners happier – interactive map

It's been quiet here lately..... too much time spent looking for decent posts made me think that I should rethink what I do here. Haven't come up with anything concrete but as it started as a form of bookmarking for my own reference, I wanted to add this.

Love, love, love.....

Meercats

 
Photographer Will Burrard-Lucas gets more than he bargained for when he visits Botswana to shoot some baby meercats.

Check out his website, there are some lovely photos and a little video of his experience of hanging out with the cute animals.

NYC Event: How to Green Your School

Inhabitat is hosting a panel discussion at the upcoming NYC Green Festival to tackle how to improve our children’s health and well-being while also teaching them environmental literacy so that they are able to respond to looming ecological problems, how classrooms can be made less toxic and more environmentally friendly and how school can food be made healthier.

Saturday April 26th, if you're in the neighbourhood, I'd say it would be well worth checking out.

Shape

Here's a lovely short film by Johnny Kelly and Scott Burnett asking what you would change to make the world a better place, if you could, through design.

Love all the trees. That's what I'd do. Plant trees everywhere.
