Episode 4 - The Robotic Eagles
Episode 3 - The Huasteca Project
The Huasteca Canyon, or “El cañón de la Huasteca”, is an ecological park located in the municipality of Santa Catarina near the city of Monterrey in the state of Nuevo León.
Today, the park is being pulled in all directions by private companies and municipal, state, and federal agencies on a number of different development projects and recreational interests. Future exploitation of the park for residential areas is casting its menacing shadow over these mountains but more importantly, the impact of its visitors is taking an alarming toll.
Joins us for this episode to explore the Huasteca and what is next for this majestic but endangered natural beauty.
Episode 2 - Green Schools
When we chose to approach the subject of green schools early on, we decided to ask students and staff how they would define a ‘Green School’ and if they believed that we were one. After reviewing those interviews, we noticed that everyone had a personal notion of what a green school was, but no idea where the term came from, or how long had it been in our culture; the name made sense--green--but since when have we been using it? Join us in this first introductory dive into environmental education. If you like this episode you will be interested in visiting these websites:
