  1. Comment by Patrik Schumann:

    Hola Layla,

    We were happy to get to know you a little in Albuquerque.

    I am particularly interested in the northward movement of growing regions due to climate change. My NY sustainable hardwood forestry/ edible forest project on 120 acres is using climate contingency ecological design approaches to restoration and pre-planting of the forest in preparation for all conceivable rapid change scenarios. I have also been checking out the area around southern Hudson Bay and the shift of hardwood forest types northward. If you happen upon any interesting practical work or publications on that, please let me know.

    We hope to meet up again one day. I do my forest work in NY for two weeks every spring and autumn, although not when the baby arrives this coming autumn. All the best, Patrik

    Hi Layla,

    I am a big fan of your work and ideas. I am curious about a study you referenced in your Deep Green Philly interview. You mentioned a Finnish economist that looked into the economics of technology etc. It sounded really cool and it is something I’ve thought about looking into myself.

    Could you send me the information for the study?

    Thanks!

    Thank you for your comment, Luke.
    The referenced study/life/auto-ethnographer is Lasse Nordlund: http://www.ymparistojakehitys.fi/susopapers/Lasse_Nordlund_Foundations_of_Our_Life.pdf
    If you are interested for an indepth discussion of his work, I contextualise and discuss it at length in my research, entitled: “Order and the Literary Rendering of Chaos: Children’s Literature as Knowledge, Culture, and Social Foundation” available in PDF at the library of the University of Montreal (you can find a link to it here: http://layla.miltsov.org/summary/ ).

    All the best,
    L.
