There is no natural basis for a week or a decade, and the endless extractive growth that corporations project has no analogue in nature. Earth's clock is richer than the Western manmade clock, an overlapping set of rhythms in which many scales coexist: not only days and seasons but also tides, flowering events, ecological successions, and geologic accumulations. […] I would like Earth Day to be like that: a pause for consideration, a day unlike other days, a time for thinking about time. Some things are visible only from a remove. Let this day be a porthole through which we look out on the vastness of ecological time, laughing in retrospect at our small-minded schedules and wondering how we might think and act in different ones. If we agreed to do that, I wouldn't be surprised if the effects of Earth Day cascaded into all our other days.]]> earth climatecrisis nature time https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:6f6c2a99cd01/ 2012-03-18T18:58:37+00:00 http://www.stratocam.com/ matthewmcvickarEnjoy the best Google Maps satellite imagery around the world.]]> googlemaps earth google maps https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:d144bcda0dd0/ 2012-01-10T22:05:27+00:00 http://www.motherboard.tv/2011/11/9/the-south-pacific-drone-zone matthewmcvickar sound earth nature ocean https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:0a95d8286aa7/ 2009-12-07T08:06:34+00:00 http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2009/12/climate-bullshit-from-forbes/ matthewmcvickar reporting news writing history earth environment climatecrisis https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:d83fea008a9a/ 2008-07-29T06:04:42+00:00 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/07/17/holy-frak-moon-transits-earth/ matthewmcvickar video space science earth moon astronomy https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:c0f3bc625b1c/ 2008-01-28T05:45:45+00:00 http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=937 matthewmcvickar biology science sea ocean earth https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:cf493a6bde7a/ 2007-12-12T21:48:44+00:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF_anaVcCXg&eurl=http://www.zefrank.com/zesblog/archives/2007/12/how_it_all_ends.html matthewmcvickar video humor politics earth environment globalwarming https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:3ad4a5863d61/ 2007-11-17T11:26:27+00:00 http://www.opentopia.com/sunlightmaprect.html matthewmcvickar world earth science nature wallpaper weather https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:047ffd664cf3/ 2007-05-31T14:53:17+00:00 http://www.bestlifeonline.com/cms/publish/travel-leisure/Our_oceans_are_turning_into_plastic_are_we.shtml matthewmcvickar earth environment science pollution plastic ocean future sea https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:fe0d307f0f50/ 2007-05-02T18:58:17+00:00 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis matthewmcvickar gaia environment science earth nature margulis https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:a7efb4f150e7/
