Aspen Institute’s Environmental Forum Interviews

May 6, 2008

This was passed to me from Marilyn of the fascinating Intelligent Travel a few weeks back.

National Geographic’s magazine site has some interviews with attendees of the Aspen Institute’s Environmental Forum.

Interviewees include Canadian Inuit activist and Nobel Prize nominee Sheila Watt-Cloutier, who says those at the top of the world acutely feel the effects of global warming, climatologist Konrad Steffen talks about the surprising speed of ice loss in Greenland, and friend of Life Goggles Josh Dorfman, author of The Lazy Environmentalist, who explains that fighting climate change doesn’t require busy, stressed-out people to change their nature.

Very interesting, and there are many more so please take a look.

Frozen People In New York

March 25, 2008

Nothing really environmental about this, but I thought it was great. A group called Improv Everywhere like to make a scene. 207 people “frozen” in New York’s Grand Central Station counts as a scene.

They also participate in No Pants! day - now in several countries around the world. By pants they mean trousers and not underwear for all you English folk :)

You can find more about the documentary at The Magic Soapbox.
