There are, of course, many trees 🌳 to encounter along this route. Including around the grounds of the itself. What histories have those trees observed? Who and what have they seen pass up and down the river over the years?…

The #BiodiversityCrisis has no technological solution. Indeed, it requires us to question our modernist faith that technologies can replace the functions of ecosystems. This makes it even more ideologically & emotionally challenging than #ClimateChange itself.

Do you have an idea to make our campus more eco-friendly? Maybe an environmental workshop, or a group action? Would you like to share a specific skill/knowledge related to sustainability? If you had the resources to run any sustainable project at UofG, what would YOU do?
