Natural Hazards Observer

We don't usually blog here over the summer unless something timely comes up.  I wanted to point out the latest issue of one of my favorite newsletters: The Natural Hazards Observer.  This month it is all about using art to recover from disasters.

Something cheerful for the summer

Is this about sustainability?  I guess so.  And it's pretty.  Thanks to Carol Berry for pointing it out.

Green Patriot Posters

Some of the books in Western Libraries are being rearranged and serendipity strikes again.  I spied a book I have never noticed before:  Green Patriot Posters.  (Wilson 2E - Books - Oversize NC1849.S87 G74 2010)

The Canary Project is behind the book and they have a website as well.  They are encouraging the idea that, just as in World War II, we need to make posters that encourage people to do their part.  Some great art!
