It brings stories of progressive grassroots organizing, going on in backyards everywhere, to a national television audience. Each program covers actions taken in local communities, by ordinary people, to address critical issues like the war, air and water pollution, reproductive rights, homelessness, for-profit prisons, sweatshops, racism, police brutality, indigenous struggles, and more. The Seattle PepperSpray Collective contributes segments to the "NewsReal" Project. In addition, we do the dubbing/mailing of the finished "

Approximately 240 million of the world's poor that live in forested areas of developing countries depend on forests for their livelihoods. Forest and its products provide cash income, jobs, and consumption goods for poor families. Forestry provides formal and informal employment for an estimated 40-60 million people. The sector contributes in some developing countries more than eight per cent to GDP. Timber may be the most important forest product, but forests are also harvested for fruits, herbs and honey as well as for wild animals. Less visible but not less important are the ecosystems services forests provide – such as for the hydrological cycle. Nevertheless, global forest cover has dropped by at least 20% since pre-agricultural times. While forest area increased slightly in the past thirty years in industrial countries, it has declined by almost 10% in developing countries in the same time period. According to the Food and Agriculture organization deforestation causes 25% of greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing this is a high priority on the global agenda. The map is a part of a set, presenting different natural resources, with a focus on developing countries, and the use of natural resources for economic growth and poverty alleviation.

We helped our client Gail Lozoff launch the first-casual restaurant chain, Einstein Bros. Bagels, in 1995. Her next restaurant concept was created around Neapolitan-style pizza and her love for Italian cycling. SPIN! is a “favoloso” fast-casual restaurant experience that is poised for national expansion. After the successful launch of the first location, Willoughby continues to extend brand experience to all additional locations and apply to various touchpoints including the website, the SPIN Bike Club, bike jerseys and additional in-store promotions including SPIN! Dough, which is a currency for their rewards program.

Herbaceous uplands, like Beaver Meadows in Rocky Mountain National Park, produce a rich mix of vegetation that is the key to survival for the park’s large elk herds. The grasses, wildflowers, and other low vegetation that grow here often make these areas some of the best in the park for watching wildlife. Photograph courtesy National Park Service
We designed and built this kitchen in 2000-2001. It still looks pretty good. The curtain window replaced a two-story porch. The bottom of the porch was open and the top was an enclosed porch where we fed the kids when it was warm enough.
For countertops we used milled granite. It's black and looks kind of like a lab tabletop. Very pretty but our then jr. high-age kid used it as a cutting board! Nowadays it just takes a bit of elbow grease to get clean. Stains and streaks show unless you're super careful.
The window faces our front neighbors' house but it's the back so there's lots of privacy. The exposure is northeast and we have plants galore outside during the summer.

Today we welcomed Mirjam Gommers of Conservation International and Lisa Best of Tropenbos to introduce this morning's films, both of which had to do with conserving our forests. Lisa brought some seeds harvested from Suriname's beautiful hardwood trees, like the mahogany. The students enjoyed the films and we are looking forward to another great day tomorrow!
