Teaching people about lake and stream ecology by teaching them to fish is the idea behind the MinnAqua program. MinnAqua is a statewide education program designed to teach angling recreation and stewardship as well as the ecology and conservation of aquatic habitats. Since its inception in 1990, MinnAqua has reached thousands of new anglers throughout Minnesota. Whether you are involved with a large community recreation program or you are a smaller group and would like to take some kids fishing, MinnAqua can meet your needs. Why MinnAqua? Here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesotans have a unique opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy aquatic habitats. There are over 5400 game fish lakes in Minnesota and 15,000 miles of fishable streams and rivers. Fishing is a recreational sport that can become a life-long activity connecting participants with their local environment, encouraging stewardship and appreciation of Minnesota's natural resources. Who can go to a MinnAqua Program?

ILEIA Newsletter Vol. 13 No. 2 p. 26 Ecology education in primary schools Pieter van Lierop The sustainable use of natural resources and environmental education are considered major elements in development. This article describes how a FAO project for primary schools in the Peruvian highlands, called 'Escuela, Ecologia y Comunidad Campesina' (School, Ecology and Rural Community), tries to combine these two elements. There exists a great biodiversity in the Peruvian Sierra related to differences of climate, altitude, hydrological characteristics and relief. This is manifested in the wide variety and number of animal and plant species. Although the region is not the most appropriate for agriculture, its ancient populations created a conducive environment by constructing terraces on the mountain slopes, by building canals to regions with no water, and by domesticating the alpaca ( Lama pacos ), llama ( Lama glama ) and guinea pig ( Cavia tchudii ), and plant species such as the potato ( Solanum tuberosum ), oca (

School Visits Fun Teacher Activities ... Page Mira Reisberg FUN TEACHING ACTIVITIES Baby Rattlesnake -Beautiful Easy Portable Murals. Baby Rattlesnake is a wonderful book to teach many different kinds of lesson plans using cut paper techniques. One of my favorites is making easy, beautiful, portable, ecology-based murals. Materials: scissors, glue, pencils, roll of large colored paper or sheets of largefoam core (36x48) brightly colored papers such as astrobrights or construction paper. Divide the class into four groups - tropical, desert, ocean and plains. Brainstorm with students a list for each of the environments' animals and plants. On a large sheet of paper or foam core or cardboard (one for each environment), lightly draw a horizon line with a pencil. Each student chooses one or two elements from his or her environment and a scale of big, medium or small. Then, they cut out the elements from bright colored paper - drawing them lightly first and then adding detail with contrasting colored paper or crayons/pencils. Play with arranging all of the elements before gluing them down with white glue. This is a no fail activity. Uncle Nacho's Hat Have students write a story about a major change in their lives. What was hard about this change. What was good about the change. Write the story on a piece of 8-1/2 X 11 paper, drawing a 1" border around the edge. On another piece of 8-1/2X11" paper, draw the same border and inside do a drawing that illustrates the story. Using black or colored 12"X18" (cheap) construction paper, fold in half to make two 9"X12" sections. Glue each page inside the folder, then glue all the pages together to make a wonderful book about change for the classroom or library. Have a lottery for who makes the front cover design and the back cover design which lists the students' names and the titles of their pieces.

While Earth and its people are increasingly at risk, far too many of us can't stop gaining fulfillment by dancing on the deck of our sinking ship. This distance learning graduate program and its courses enable students to introduce a new, satisfying dance step, one that restores the integrity of the ship and its passengers. Our program for the IUPS degree offers nature connected educational, counseling and healing techniques. It is designed for those who are thoughtful enough to recognize that many destructive aspects of our society don't stop because we are psychologically bonded to them; that to promote change we must invoke a process that addresses these bonds. This program promotes responsible change by helping us make conscious sensory contacts with natural areas. There, we responsibly reconnect with our origins, reignite our joy and heal our nature disconnected cravings, stress and hurt. Students learn how to use nature sensitive activities, teach them to others and build them into their careers. They become experts in producing worthwhile ways of relating that create and sustain balanced relationships.

The most notable shift in the past decade has been from wired to wireless communication networks. More bandwidth is used today for data communications than for voice, and wireless communication is growing at a much faster rate e.g., there are now more wireless telephone subscribers worldwide than fixed wired subscribers. The researchers at Carnegie Mellon will investigate the relative economic, energy, and environmental implications of wired versus wireless data networks.

Using this model, the net environmental benefits (or costs) are estimated based on the environmental impacts associated with both non-teleworkers and teleworkers. The research team at UC, Berkeley proposes to extend their research and to improve the tool by applying it to a number of case studies.
