Here are some shots from an event I went to tonight titled “Why Do We Love Trees?” Why do we? Maybe because they are so instrumental to many of the things in our lives (food, shelter, entertainment). I’ll try to delve into this topic another day. For now, enjoy a visual tour of the night.
On the left, our moderator Mr. Sipchen from the Sierra Club (formerly with the LA Times as a journalist). Then Ms. Nadkarni, a scientist, Ms. Steinkamp, an artist, and Mr. Masumoto, a farmer. Each provided a unique and interesting perspective! I was struck by just how much their personal backgrounds influenced the way they talked, what they talked about, and how they expressed themselves. Almost as fascinating as the discussion itself.
