LEARN ABOUT CREATURES
(IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS)
this project is called LOCAL BIOLOGY (until we think of something better)
Take Five Extra Minutes
Some of you may already do this... but for those of you who are like me, who are always running out the front door just in the nick of time to catch your bus or train, here's a simple tool to help you see more:
Leave for work five minutes early. Or even ten, if you can manage it.
It sounds simple, and it is, but it's made a huge difference in my life.
By leaving five or ten minutes early, you allow yourself enough time to try a different walking route (maybe there's an interesting tree around the corner that you've never seen), to stop and watch something (like a flock of birds in a tree), or to spend some time looking up at the sky.
If you drive to work, you can use the few extra minutes to look around before or after you get in your car.
Try it tomorrow! And let me know what you see!
© 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.
