Inochi Amazon Rainforest Project 2022

Posted in Amazon Rainforest Project, Art, Inochi, tagged , on December 20, 2022| Leave a Comment »

In this time of giving, please consider supporting an impressive new campaign to plant trees in the Amazon Rainforest.

‘It is one of the best available environmental actions for the Earth and all living beings. The United Nations has declared 2021-2030 the Decade of Eco-Restoration. Around 25% of the land on Earth is now in a degraded state. The restoration of degraded lands is essential to ending the climate crisis.’ [1]

Just imagine:

  • $14 will plant 1 tree and fund their care for 3 years, restoring 43 square feet of forest.
  • $140 will plant 10 trees and fund their care for 3 years, restoring 430 square feet of forest.
  • $700 will plant 50 trees and fund their care for 3 years, restoring 2,150 square feet of forest.
  • $1,400 will plant 100 trees and fund their care for 3 years, restoring 4,300 square feet of forest.
  • $70,000 will plant 5000 trees and fund their care for 3 years, restoring 5 acres of forest.

Now go ahead and peruse the website, Inochi Amazon Rainforest Project for all the projects, details and underpinnings (a.k.a. roots!). Share this with your friends and let’s plant trees together!

DONATE HERE

Inochi’s goal for 2022 is to raise enough funding from their friends and colleagues to support a local community plant and sustain 5,000 tree seedlings of a mixed variety of species using already successful agroforestry techniques.

Inochi is a U.S. nonprofit organization active locally (in California, Hawaii and Japan) and internationally (around the world) since 1993. They have recently been working with a trustworthy volunteer team of Inochi members in Brazil to address climate change while supporting local communities of Indigenous Peoples.

Let’s get started and help them—help us. It’s a great tree story!

Interim options

Posted in Art, Handmade paper, Paper-making, Treewhispers, tagged , , , , , on December 9, 2022| Leave a Comment »

The North Shore Country Day School students in Winnetka, IL had many options from which to choose for their Interim program. One possibility was a week long experience with teaching artist extraordinaire, Jamie Thome at the Evanston Art Center.

The students explored papermaking, experimented with different writing exercises, made several books structures, and played with relief printmaking. Many of these new and exciting techniques were incorporated in the final project on the last day.

Students had the opportunity to contribute story and art embellished handmade paper rounds to the Treewhispers collaboration. They also made tiny paper circles (and painted them) which were stitched together to hang in their school. Inspired by Treewhispers, of course. 

 

We would all enjoy hearing how others have collaborated in this ongoing art outreach.
