We forget, sometimes, that we are intimately tied to the earth. We came from the earth, we live on its surface, and we eventually will return to the earth. We derive our lives from the earth - literally and metaphorically. As such, it behooves us to consider the impact of our existence on the earth, particularly when it comes to long-term impacts of current behavior. Some of those impacts are irreversible.
I had a couple of classes from Maged Senbel when I was at the University of Utah. He was a dynamic instructor and a worthy mentor. Lacing all of his conversations was a passion for planning and a realization that it is the interconnectedness of people and places, of the earth and environment and those who live on it, that create meaning and life.
I recently watched this video - not the best quality, but you can look past that, I think, because the content is very good. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
