Eco Ecuador
Latest updates: In 2004, Brian Teinert, Renée Portanova, and other volunteers and
staffers have been sending Reports,
Peter Berg sent Dispatches from his
visit in June, and Peter Berg and Elise Braaten produced the outline for an educational
curriculum which we hope to implement in Bahia later this year. (Last
year Peter Berg sent a comprehensive dispatch,
the first of 2003, which reviews Planet Drum's 5-year accomplishments and visions in
Ecuador.)

Events and Calendars
Latest updates: The Green City Calendar for listings in the San Francisco Bay
Area (Green City Calendar) page has been
redesigned and is updated weekly. It is divided by local areas and includes ongoing
and date-specific activities.
We have added two more pages to the Events and Calendars section. One for listings of
what's happening here at Planet Drum
Foundation, and
another for listings in other bioregions around the planet. (All Bioregions Calendar). |
Current Projects at Planet Drum
Reports and Dispatches from the Field
Eco Ecuador is an ongoing project to collaborate with an Ecuadorian community and help
create a sustainable local ecology. We have been working on this project since 1999.
We first worked with Guard Fox Watch at the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998.
Subsequently, we developed guidelines for the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002 and
helped organize a campaign to develop eco-consciousness in their planning. We
will continue monitoring at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy.
Events and Calendars
The All Bioregions Calendar lists planetwide (Beyond the San Francisco Bay Area)
bioregional gatherings and other conferences, assemblies, celebrations, workshops, and
events with related themes.
The online Green City Calendar at Planet Drum Foundation is a weekly-updated resource
to help people find environmental volunteer options and greening projects in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Through the variety of hands-on ecosystem restorative work, bike
rides, hikes, farmer's markets, classes, workshops, and celebrations listed in this
calendar, we can build a symbiotic balance between humanity and the planet, and promote
sustainable urban living. We have recently have redesigned the Calendar so that it is
easier to use. This new format enables you to search easily, using
your own criteria, and enter your group's Bay Area events into the Calendar
yourself.
There are also links to
information about the beautiful native plants & animals that comprise the background
images in our new calendar layout.
