jimmy carter's nobel prize speech

When Jimmy Carter won his Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, I read his speech in the Star and was especially captivated by this line:

"War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children."

Today I found out, he was actually given that line from a 12 year kid who passed away in 2004: http://www.mattieonline.c om/index.htm

Pretty impressive...

Design + Nature: ARC's International Wildlife Crossing Infrastructure Design Competition

A video on a design competition to build the best wildlife crossing for a highway in Colorado. It's 12 min long but definitely worth a look. This can definitely apply to many parts of the world (including large parts of Canada). I especially like the multi-disciplinary nature of how the different design teams came up with a potential solution. Ecologists, engineers and landscape architects (just to name a few), came together to propose a design. More of the world's problems need this type of design collaboration.
