this project is called LOCAL BIOLOGY (until we think of something better)
© 2009 Local Biology, a social business
A social business is owned by the people who directly benefit, and need its existence. We all benefit from the earth, and knowing about the earth, therefore, the earth owns Local Biology and we are simply noticing her, and how she created us.
It is by being a social business today that we can reach out to all people who want to understand the world they live in - the science, the spirit, the changing planet. We can reach around walls built by schools and other educational institutions, television, media, science, religion, language and country.
We know that we love and care about our Earth and in this we unite as this 'social business,' the business being that we are all working together to bring this knowledge together on this website and to other real projects in our towns — working with our own communities and, especially, friends.

This comment isn`t about the entry, but about the new look of the site. I love the flickr images! Are you guys going to make a logo? Though I like the simplicity of the white cut-out logo, I couldn`t see it on top of one of the images (the one with lots of white flowers). Also, sometimes there´s no image, just a blue background. I don´t remember where that is though. I realize that`s a little irresponsible of me-trying to test out the site and not giving you the exact case where I see things that are a little weird pop up. Anyhow...

Developing these kinds of websites don't follow the same methods as the kinds of websites we usually make - in this case, we build it, then theme it. And I do have designs for the next theme...but won't be building it until the fall. Which is fine, because we aren't even really launched.
Also, the background images for the site will all be location and time specific, and integrated with flickr. It'll actually be a nice implementation of flickr.
