Top 3 Blogs of the Week
There has been a lot of exciting blog activity in the last week related to Creation Care. Here are my top 3 recommendations (plus a bonus!):
#3 – Now that King’s is an official member of the AASHE I hope that most faculty, staff and students are reading their blog on campus sustainability on a regular basis (email me if you don’t already have access to the “member only” sections). However, just in case you are not, check out this recent post on campuses banning bottled water. Wouldn’t it be great if our students took up this or another worthy cause? (Hint, hint King’s Keepers…)
#2 – Dean Ohlman’s blog Wonder of Creation is always a great read, and often includes his own amazing photography. Recently Dean wrote about the Creation Care Movement, citing a good friend of the King’s University College – Cal Dewitt. Dean O. describes Cal as the “Dean of the Creation Care Movement.” If you are interested in the history of creation care in North America be sure to check this out.
#1 – Why Your Child Needs a Knife
One of my favorite reads this summer was Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. My children are seven and eight years old, and I am dead set against them developing the all too common “Nature Deficit Disorder.” Rusty Pritchard of Flourish writes a great review of the book citing his own parenting experience.
BONUS – Rebecca Warren, who is coordinating this year’s Interdisciplinary Studies Conference for King’s, has a wonderful blog called Lovely and All We Have which is worth subscribing to in your blog reader. Recently Rebecca wrote about the joy of creating something new out of the junk in our lives in a post titled “Wheels.”
These recommendations were provided by Michael Ferber, Assistant Professor of Geography and Director of Environmental Studies at The King’s University College.
