While I wait for some software to download and sync, here are some cool links:
The most isolated man on the planet - about the last member of an uncontacted tribe in Brazil, and how, instead of trying to pull him into the modern world, Brazil designated a 31 square mile as his (ie, off limits to farmers and people who want to cut down the trees) so he can continue to live his life. Sadly, a novel approach to the situation, but totally the right one.
The Psychology of Nature - Why we need nature to function optimally.
Nature: A pathway to clearer thinking - An article on REI's blog relating to the above link.
Speaking of REI's blog, they have had some excellent articles recently. I "liked" them (or added them, or something) on Facebook and now their blog updates appear on my FB feed. Something interesting to read on the bus rides to and from school.
