"Connecting the Drops (Designing the Way Out)" with Andy Lipkis
====>Click to hear "Connecting the Drops"
Could Los Angeles stop draining water from the Colorado River and become
self-sufficient? That's a question that Andy Lipkis and his organization
TreePeople are tackling in an unprecedented alliance with public works
agencies. Their work proves that the more we learn about how ecosystems
operate, the more sustainably we can design our cities. This audio
recording is from the Bioneers radio series: Revolution from the Heart
of Nature.
Founded in 1973 by teenagers, TreePeople's work is about helping nature
heal our cities. They offer sustainable solutions to urban ecosystem
problems, focusing on three areas: 1) Training and supporting
communities to plant and care for trees; 2) Educating school children
and adults about the environment; 3) Working with government agencies on
critical water issues. www.treepeople.org
Founded in 1990, Bioneers/Collective Heritage Institute is a nonprofit
organization that promotes practical environmental solutions and
innovative social strategies for restoring the Earth and communities.
They conduct research and education in the areas of biodiversity,
cultural diversity, environmental restoration, and restorative farming.
