Q7. How do other technologies and resources contribute?

Place-Based Resources

Notes from the Road
Erik Gauger's luscious Notes from the Road travel
writing, photography, and activism website.

You could argue that any natural (or built) place that you seek out to reenergize is a place-based resource, and I'd agree. But that's not what I have in mind when I think of place-based resources that contribute to fostering a sense of place in the context of ecomedia. I'm thinking, instead, of local, regional, and global sites that offer information and expertise to enhance sense of place.

Here are just a few:

Center for Livable Communities
"The Center for Livable Communities helps local governments and community leaders be proactive in their land use and transportation planning, and adopt programs and policies that lead to more livable and resource-efficient land use patterns."

Irreplaceable: Wildlife in a Warming World
A campaign that "brings together four distinct groups — from the worlds of art, justice, science, and faith — to highlight the diversity of life we must protect from climate change."

Mother Nature Network
"Environmental news and information that makes sense."

Notes from the Road
Erik Gauger's "personal project in experimental travel writing" that is sumptuous in its photography and graphic design and true in its mission.
