78F and humid with overcast skies. We never got rain yesterday, although it blew and gusted, and was overcast all day. Hoping for the same today.<\/p>\n
So I’m skimming thru my alumni email, and I see this gem…” A new kind of career<\/p>\n
Kristin Antkoviak, who is graduating with a master\u2019s degree in landscape architecture, hopes to use landscape architecture as a path to social justice.”<\/strong><\/p>\n MASTER’S DEGREE. Wonder what her debt looks like?<\/p>\n “A neighborhood landscape architect would help educate people on water use and the tradeoffs of different kinds of trees they like, as well as coordinate with government and advocacy agencies.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter 100 years of these social environmental injustices, I think these native plants can give a healing aspect to the community. Nature has so much to offer.\u201d”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I wonder who will be paying for it? and her?<\/p>\n Oh, I guess that would be these guys. Here’s a nice list of the sort of parasite on the body politic that sprouts when there is just too much money:<\/p>\n “There are a couple groups in the community that would be good to talk to too: The Arizona Alliance for Livable Communities, the Arizona Partnership for Healthy Communities, the Downtown Voices Coalition. The Sonoran Institute is a great connection and also the Sustainable Cities Network.”<\/p>\n “\u201cThere were no street trees. The first thing I started to do was pull historical maps from 1930 until now and you can see there were almost no trees from then until now,\u201d she said.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Oh my, let’s help those poor unfortunates that don’t know about some of the trees available, or how to plant stuff IN A DESERT. Good thing someone <\/em>is working with “vulnerable populations.”<\/p>\n Jeez o pete, woman was already working as a microbiologist for 6 years. Wonder what THAT debt looked like? Then she goes back to school for a masters. Hey maybe she’s independently wealthy and this is just her ‘giving back’ to the community. Doubt it though.<\/p>\n n<\/p>\n https:\/\/asunow.asu.edu\/20180429-sun-devil-life-asu-grad-sees-landscape-architecture-path-social-justice<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 78F and humid with overcast skies.
