Images our Architect sent us
Submitted by Building the White House on 08.25.08 at 8:10am.
Our architect Monica sent these images to us along with a bunch of others to help her determine a ’style’ for the the house. We weren’t really into the others, but these really encapsulate our thoughts. A modern design with classic detailing (raw cedar shingles really do it for me!).

It's probably no surprise that our massive tides are not only of interest to tourists but also to alternative energy folks.

My Climate Change Hangover
Submitted by Smart Like Streetcar on 07.24.08 at 7:13am.

What would Al Gore do?
Submitted by Oregano on 07.22.08 at 2:44pm.

When the facts change
Submitted by Wolfville Watch on 07.19.08 at 6:59am.
Nationally, provincially and municipally, governments are making very serious decisions based on a theory. Lots and lots of money is being spent on this idea and we are asked to make significant economic sacrifices because of it. That proposition is that CO2 emissions cause the earth to warm.

The Geography of Hope
Submitted by Silver Donald on Sunday on 07.16.08 at 11:44am.
“Environmentalism has become a sort of mythology of death – passionate, lyrical, righteous and hopeless,” says Chris Turner. It has “failed as a common language of hope or a ritual of rebirth. It has failed as myth.”
