Visualizing Sustainability at this year's Maker Faire

Julie Gieseke and I created this fun video as a way to explore our ideas about Visualizing Sustainability. We took a handfull of dry-erase markers, small white boards and the question, "What does sustainability look like?" to this year's Maker Faire where we knew there would be folks willing to share their vision of a sustainable world. Julie did the sweet editing and added in a fantastic original soundtrack by my very talented brother Evan Howard. Please share your impressions and email me your image(s) of sustainability if you'd like - we're going to continue to collect these visuals and then, we'll find out what wants to happen next.
