Green and Environmental Impact Statement
In my story "Drought" an old man finds that the reservoir that feeds an entire country is going dry. No one believes him. After the drought, the entire landscape and economy of this wealthy nation has changed, as have the children's songs.
We live in challenging times -- how do we get to and from places without pumping CO2 into the atmosphere? Can we reduce our impact without destroying our quality of life?
The fact is that things are and will change over time.
Bringing an author or storyteller to your school is a cost-effective, environmentally sound way to educate your students without adding too much to the footprint of the planet.
I am also interested in the possibility of video projection performance, and wonder what that will mean in the future.
