An Intro to Ecobricks and a New Earthen Ethics Edition
Dear Trainers,
We're thrilled to announce three big offerings for June.
We're sending these out to you all first– then we'll be announcing this to our full to our 70,000 Earthen subscribers, so please forgive the imminent double send.
Free Ecobrick Starter Workshop
First, GEA co-founder Russell Maier and GEA Center Circle Trainer Paula Apolonia will be leading a free online intro to ecobricks workshop on June 18th at 7:30 PM Jakarta time and 1:30 PM UK time.
We've been hard at work upgrading GoBrik to feature and offer trainings and webinars– so this is a first test of our new course registration system. Alas, we haven't got the payment system working yet so, lucky you, the course is completely free!
As a trainer its a great chance to refresh yourself on the fundamental science, philosophy and techniques behind ecobricking. In a 90 minute live zoom event, they will cover the ancient Earth history of plastic, its modern context, and the case for sequestration... i.e. ecobricking! They will go over best-practice ecobricking techniques and the various applications for ecobricks.
Earthen Ethics 2nd Edition
As a GEA Trainer, its essential to understand the core ecological philosophy behind ecobricking.
Russell and Irene Angway, (also a GEA co-founder!) have just released the second edition of their Tractatus Ayyew - Earthen Ethics. If you're tired at looking at screens, this is your chance to get their paper book (10$) as it is now back in stock.
The Tractatus Ayyew lays out a ground breaking theory of green, inspired by Irene's Igorot ancestral values and framed by Russell's academic background in western philosophy. Powered by indigenous insights, their work lays out a rock solid ontology to make sense of what green should really mean... and ecobricking!
