“t’s Getting Hot in Here is the voice of a growing movement, a collection of voices from the student and youth leaders of the global movement to stop global warming. Originally created by youth leaders to allow youth to report from the International Climate Negotiations in Montreal, It’s Getting Hot in Here has since grown into a global online community, with over 100 writers from countries around the world.”

Interested in sustainable design and architecture? Read David W. Orr’s recent essay: http://www.ecoliteracy.org/publications/david_orr_design_revolution.html
“Aside from the ongoing threat of nuclear weapons, two converging crises will make the years ahead particularly challenging. The first challenge is climate change, which will raise sea levels by as much as 20 feet, increase the severity of storms, raise the likelihood of severe droughts and heat waves, change ecosystems, increase the number of novel diseases, and disrupt political and economic systems everywhere. The other challenge is posed by the end of the era of cheap, portable fossil fuels… Looking back on our time from a century or two hence, from the other side of the bottleneck, our descendants will see those small beginnings, perhaps unnoticed by us, that altered the human prospect for the better. One such change, I think, will be the changes design professionals made toward place making that began a sea change in the human presence on Earth.”
