Talking about large-scale drivers of carbon at the very highest level of concern for the survival of life on the planet. We will explore the pragmatic microlevel of the design of a few individual buildings, materials, and systems that in the that demonstrate the multiplying effect of little success stories. What does it mean to be resilient versus resistant and what does it mean to be Net Zero.

Talking about a new movie by Hannah Myers Lindgren. The Net Makersis her fourth film streaming on Hoodox. In rural Southern Indiana, two men carry on the tradition of crafting hoopnets and commercially fishing in the White and Wabash Rivers. Despite the threat of invasive species, climate change impacts and the shifting dynamics of commercial fishing and social norms, Larry and Danny spend countless hours hand-tying thousands of knots to create the intricate hoopnets that have been used in the area since the Great Depression. While they take their own approaches to crafting their nets, both recognize the precarious state of this tradition, and hope that the culture of hoopnet making will be picked up by future generations before it becomes lost to time.
