Go ahead and laugh, but I've spent the last few Tuesdays face down on the ground with my nose in who knows what! So today I'm staying off the ground.

I had the week off from work and wanted to check out the Garden Of Gods monument in Southern Illinois. It was a beautiful drive and the weather was perfect. Many of trees still had some very orange leaves which made quite a contrast to the conifers (pines) in the frame. The park was quiet and serene (the park only had 2 other people in it aside from myself). I had to do some hoping around the big stones to get a good vantage point - risking life-and-limb.

What is the story behind your artwork?
"Our Daisy troop is made up of kindergardeners and 1st graders.
When trying to decide a focus for the pannel, you can imagine all the
wonderful ideas we had. There were so many in fact we had to just say
"keep it Green" so we could save the animals, recycle and have clean air.
My girls really took this to heart and we had great talks about what
they could do to help at home, school and in the community."
"We did 2 Daisy Flowers the colors represent what a Daisy patch looks like.
When they earn a petal they are placed on the front of their uniform and
will at the end form the flower. Many of our petals tie into the Dream
Rockets goals.

As the leading voice for collaborative public art projects around the world, the International Fiber Collaborative is dedicated to promoting understanding and appreciation of contemporary art & craft through educational experiences. We are committed to developing vital education programs that elevate, expand, modernize and enhance the image of collaboration and education today.
★WHAT IS THE DREAM ROCKET PROJECT?
The Dream Rocket Team is collecting nearly 8,000 artworks from participants around the globe. The artwork will be assembled together to create a massive cover in which will wrap a 37 story Saturn V Moon Rocket at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. We will also be displaying submitted artwork in dozens of national venues prior to the wrapping of the Saturn V. Additionally, we are posting images of submitted artwork & their stories on our Website, Flickr, and Facebook.The Dream Rocket project uses the Saturn V Moon Rocket as a symbolism of universal values of the human spirit. Optimism, hope,
caring for our natural resources, scientific exploration, and harnessing technological advancements for a better quality of life while safeguarding our communities, are all common desires across national and international boundaries. Participants are able to express and learn about these values through this creative collaboration. With the completion of each artwork, participants are asked to write an essay explaining their artwork, and the dream theme in which they chose.
★How can I Participate & Have my Artwork Displayed?
The Dream Rocket project would like to challenge you to ‘Dare to Dream’. To dream about your future and the future of our world through dream themes such as health, community, conservation, science, technology, space, peace, and so on.

“The Saturn V is the ideal icon to represent a big dream. This rocket was designed and built as a collaboration of nearly half-a-million people and allowed our human species to venture beyond our world and stand on ANOTHER - SURELY one of the biggest dreams of all time. ENABLING THE DREAMS of young people to touch this mighty rocket sends a powerful message in conjunction with creating an educational curriculum to engage students to embrace the power of learning through many important subjects”
-Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium, New York

We had a little light rain last night. It was enough to clean the air and my hacking cough is settling down.
The wildfires burning in the interior of the province are still burning out of control and threatening homes every day. We are grateful for all those trained professional "smoke eaters" who have come to help our 2,500 British Columbian firefighters:

plus an undetermined number from the Canadian forces.
Short video from BC Wildfire Service (yesterday dinner time):
A new study led by a NASA scientist highlights 14 key air pollution control measures that if implemented could slow the pace of global warming, save millions of lives and boost agricultural production. All of the control measures focus on either limiting black carbon or methane, pollutants that exacerbate climate change and damage human or plant health.
The research, led by Drew Shindell of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City, finds that focusing on black carbon and methane measures could slow global mean warming 0.5ºC (0.9 ºF) by 2050, prevent between 700,000 and 4.7 million premature deaths each year and increase global crop yields by up to 135 million metric tons per season. While all regions of the world would benefit, countries in Asia and the Middle East would see the biggest health and agricultural gains from the emissions controls.
The new study builds upon research featured in an assessment report published last year by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
In this slideshow, take a closer look at some of the control measures that Shindell's team considered.

Title:
Tobacco or Health: Choose Health
Creator:
Mullick, Biman
Date:
1988
Description:
In 1988, the World Health Organization celebrated its 40th anniversary and the first World No Tobacco Day (WNTD), a global event where smokers around the world united to break free from their dependence on tobacco. Established to raise international awareness and support tobacco-free initiatives, the first WNTD honored 11 organizations and 29 individuals for their work in promoting the concept of tobacco-free societies. Artist Biman Mullick was one of the recipients, chosen for establishing CLEANAIR, a non-profit organization engaged in drawing public attention to the effects of smoking on health and the environment, and for creating a series of posters that politely, strongly, and humorously deliver the message that non-smoking is the norm. The image in the poster signifies an opposition between smoking and health (or smoker and nonsmoker), suggesting a choice for one is a choice against the other. The headline presents the viewer with a choice between tobacco and health, while an abstraction of a human head chooses flowers over a cigarette (environment over smoking).. NOTE: Original is slightly blurry.. NOTE: Words at the bottom of the original slide's image were cut off.

July 24, 2017 - Protestors block the gates of the Kinder Morgan Richmond Terminal in solidarity with First Nation's people in Canada. Kinder Morgan wants to triple its capacity to move tar sands crude from Alberta to the west coast of Canada via the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. This tar sands crude would likely be transported to refineries up and down the west coast, including those in the Bay Area, increasing the pollution of air, water and soil... and this at a time when it is critical that we transition off of fossil fuels to lessen the worst effects of climate change. No consent. No pipeline.

When it comes to parks - Edmontonians love to talk about the river valley, the Legislature, Hawrelak Park, or Mill Creek Ravine. They're all wonderful - but Borden Park is a Gem. Lots of space to distance, quiet, plenty of trees, and clean air. Don't go there. I don't want to share.
Refinery Corridor Healing Walk #3
Benicia to Rodeo, California June 11, 2017 - 3rd of 4 walks this year along the Refinery Corridor in the East Bay. Organized by Idle No More SF Bay, this 10.5 mile walk started in Benicia, home of Valero's Benicia Refinery, crossed the Carquinez Bridge and then passed thru the heart of Conoco-Phillips 66 “San Francisco” refinery.
Within minutes of the early morning start, walkers had the extremely rare opportunity to observe 2 Bald Eagles fishing and hanging out along the bay. And then, almost as if scripted, what started as a bright, sunny day turned increasingly windy and as the walkers approached the Conoco-Phillips 66 refinery, dark, menacing clouds formed, complete with lightning and eventually rain.
These walks have been bringing native people, local communities and those concerned about the health of the planet together to envision a healthier future, since 2014.
The next walk (July 16, 2017) will cover the section of the Refinery Corridor from Rodeo to the Chevron Richmond refinery. It will be the very last of a total of 16 walks that have happened over a period of 4 years.
These walks have done an outstanding job of connecting communities and issues and providing insights and ways to connect to the fierce battles being waged in our own back yards for "Clean Air, Water & Soil
Safe Jobs, Roads, Railroads & Waterways
A Vibrantly Healthy Future for All Children
A Just Transition to Safe & Sustainable Energy"
