my daughter, who is 4 and a half years old, can already recognize hundreds of brands. but she doesn’t know that water comes from the sky, unless it rains. and she doesn’t know that it comes from the ground, even when it forms a stream….she is only four years old, so she thinks water comes from supermarkets……..she thinks that it comes in bottles.
with some embarrassment i have to tell her that this is not entirely true.
so to teach my daughter about where water comes from, we went high into the mountains. we walked along streams with river beds made from black rocks while angry dark grey clouds rained on our heads……we saw dark holes from which fresh water sprang, drilled deep into the earth…..this was very curios, but very mysterious for her – so she still thinks that water comes from the supermarket.
with some embarrassment i have to tell her that this is not true.

Hi,
Nice post. Since you’re into sustainability, you may have heard of the recent i-Think conference in the UK, which was about precisely that – how can we build and plan and develop sustainably? Al Gore gave a good speech there, as I recall.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know about the new i-Think website, from the same people that organised the conference. i-Think.com is a brand new professional networking site for the property, architecture and construction sectors. i-Think is the online community for professionals in the built environment and the only industry network dedicated to stimulating debate on sustainability & regeneration, sharing information and showcasing products and services.
i-Think is free to join and use. Go to http://www.i-think.com to sign up and get involved.
