During the course of each day, I get inundated with emails from many sources. There is always a lot of junk mail to wade through. Unfortunately, during this process, I sometimes miss important information. Thankfully, one day recently, I came across an email from the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF)(led by Barbara Deutsch, a UVA Comm School classmate of mine) about their New Landscape Declaration and related Action Plan.
The LAF Declaration addresses many of the concerns I have about our planet and provides a plan of action to address them. I am not a landscape architect, but as an individual working in the affiliate profession of landscape lighting design, I try to be a good steward of the planet. (This is one of the reasons why I am a member of the International Dark Sky Association.) I support many of the recommendations set forth in the Declaration and encourage you to read it to see how you might be able to play a part in sustaining our planet in the course of your work.
We only have one planet. Let’s take care of it!
