During the decade of the 1960’s and 1970’s, there were many literary figures writing of the simplicity, the beauty, and the spiritual depth of Nature, giving us vivid imagery that represented our emotional landscape. For example, Theodore Roethke’s The Far Field that included the wonderful “North American Sequence,” was published in 1964 and instantly won the National Book Award for that year.

For many residents of Georgia, the beautiful coastlines and beaches are a source of pride. You may be among those for whom spending a day at the beach brings renewed peace of mind and clarity of thought. However, you may also understand that the beaches and coastal environments are fragile, and the delicate balance of nature is always at risk. Dunes provide protection for areas inland as well as being the habitat for numerous endangered flora and fauna.

In the mid-19th century, Henry David Thoreau wrote, “In wildness is the preservation of the world.” This thought marked the beginning of this country’s literary American Renaissance and it became the cornerstone of America’s environmental consciousness. America’s heritage is rich in its regard to the environment. We all associate Thoreau with Walden Pond, and the year spent in a small cabin in the woods near the pond shore.

Problem. The United Nations estimate that Americans today throw away 400 lbs of food each year, thereby wasting the resources used to create it including fuel, materials, labor and other natural resources. Solution. We’ve organized a system to gather leftover food from restaurants and deliver it into a locked fridge outside of food banks. The food banks will distribute food to those in need, such as parents or our starving youth.

By Amy Turner. The election dust has mostly settled, and with its drawn out conclusion has come much speculation about potential climate policy in a new Biden administration, particularly in light of President-elect Joseph Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris designating climate change as one of their four policy priorities. While much of the climate and environmental regulatory analysis looks at federal law and policy, the Biden administration is poised to advance city climate action as

Diversity, Equity, Justice, and Inclusion (DEJI) policies, programs, and initiatives are critically important as we move forward with public and private sector climate and sustainability goals and plans.
