Biosphere 2

Great presentation, she gave us a lot of think about as we continue to think of how our reactions affect the world around us. Biosphere experiments are a very important way to determine how the enviorment works with and without human intervention. Have always been intrigued by Biosphere experiments. Would welcome an opportunity to particiapte in one someday. It was refresher to hear her thoughts on the fact that small stuff counts towards the whole when she explained how she threw out her rake and let the natural environment take over her back yard. Really drives home her insight that we need to move from the mode of killing life to the mode of nuturing life. This gives hope that people can make changes one person and one action at a time. Her surprise to find out how her sense of smell changed was surprising - maybe my sense of smell is more keen than the next persons but that is the first thing I notice when going into a different area be it a country, state, city or even a persons home - temperature, plants, animals all play into the smell of something.
