this project is called LOCAL BIOLOGY (until we think of something better)
Birding with seniors over the phone
Jeanne-Marie saw this listing in a Golden Gate Audubon e-newsletter. A senior center, which has a telephone-based talking program, was accepting birder volunteers to talk to seniors about birds out their windows.
The program they mentioned was http://www.seniorcenterwithoutwalls.org. They were just looking for 1 volunteer. But this is definitely something that a lot of us could do. Perhaps we can come up with ideas for having these discussions from your phone...because I am not quite sure how it works.
© 2009 Local Biology, a social business
A social business is owned by the people who directly benefit, and need its existence. We all benefit from the earth, and knowing about the earth, therefore, the earth owns Local Biology and we are simply noticing her, and how she created us.
It is by being a social business today that we can reach out to all people who want to understand the world they live in - the science, the spirit, the changing planet. We can reach around walls built by schools and other educational institutions, television, media, science, religion, language and country.
We know that we love and care about our Earth and in this we unite as this 'social business,' the business being that we are all working together to bring this knowledge together on this website and to other real projects in our towns — working with our own communities and, especially, friends.
