• What isenvironmental art?
• It can be Earth art, renovation art, crop art and
  any number of things. Pictured right is Matthew
  Moores work created in sorghum and wheat. The
  work was placed in a soon-to-be developed piece
  of farmland to draw attention to Americas
  shrinking farms.

• Renewable words
• Decades of environmental art have created a
  hodgepodge of words that lead more to confusion
  than clarity. What are land art, earth art,
  crop art, eco-art or restoration art?
• Sam Bowers of GreenMuseum.org offers a primer
  that helps keep it straight in this months
  edition of Unity.

• Sustainable dance
• Whether you get your groove on with Elvis or
  Ludacris, here is an idea that makes going green
  exciting. The sustainable dance floor transforms
  energy from dancers into energy for lights and
  strobes. It is an example of a number of cool
  ideas that are being put to work to make green
  lifestyles enjoyable and fun.

• Puck steps up
• Known for scintillating pizzas and various forms
  of upscale comfort food, Chef Wolfgang Puck made
  a bold statement recently when he announced his
  plan to work with the Humane Society and follow a

  pioneer among celebrity chefs.

• Sustainable Sushi
• All it takes to be a better sushi connoisseur is
  a wallet-size sushi guide from the Monterey Bay
  Aquarium, which can be downloaded at
  www.montereybayaquarium.org. The guide lists the
  Japanese names of fish sake (salmon), hotate
  (scallops) and katsuo (skipjack tuna) then
  lists best and worst choices based on where the
  fish came from and how it was caught.
