WWF - Earth Hour

Earth Hour is upon us... at 8.30pm local time around the world millions of people are turning off their lights for 1 hour.

This is not so much about saving energy. It is more a massive, global and overwhelming signal to our nations' leaders to say that climate change is important. That it matters a great deal. That we care. Now do something about it!

Dymaxion map

Hello everyone,

I have something to share with you. I went to Chicago this spring break and had the chance to visit the Buckminster Fuller exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago. I did not know about this architect (designer, philosopher, thinker, visionary, inventor, engineer, mathematician, poet, cosmologist, and more), and was impressed by his work and, above all, his ideas.

Mr. Fuller, sometime around 1954, after working on the world map for one decade, he came out with a map named The Dymaxion Map. Thsi is known to be "the only flat map of the entire surface of the earth that reveals our planet as it really is an island in one ocean without any visible distortion of the relative shapes and sizes of the land areas, and without splitting any continents".

Catchy title... a video opinion piece from the New York Times here. This doesn't really tread any new ground for us but is a succinct look at the "Richtin" argument...
