I found this article by Freidman on Will Richards’ blog. In honor of Earth Week give it a read. No one can deny this man's ability to succinctly and seamlessly blend very complex global ideas together… it’s a talent of his that a greatly admire.
Much like his book "The World is Flat" his ideas deeply imply the need for more science and math based skills, if we are to retain our standard of living or even compete in the new global economy.
who is seeing me?

About Me
- Jo Tutko
- I am a non-tradidtional student who was out of academic circles for seven long years. During that time I lived in Indianapolis where I ran a deli in a chain super market called Marsh. Though the work paid well, it wasn't enough to suport me as well as pay tution. So I moved back to home, to take advantage of the state's educational system. By emersing myself in it for as long as possible, which is one of the reason why I want to be a teacher. Currently I live outside of Binghamton and commute three days a week while working. Personality wise, I am considered, laid back, open minded, goofy, and motivated.

"Be Green. Let the Earth Live" thats the bumper sticker on my car so you can bet I, too, really liked the article in the Times with Tom Friedman. That was great. Have you seen that movie "An Unconvenient Truth" yet? if you havent, you must!! IT is amazing...
and while you're at it, go plant a tree...isn't it almost Earth day anyway? =)
Compete in a flatter world; thrive in a warmer world; survive in a dangerous world -- those are questions which need answering not just for our kids and their future, but for all of us. I think it's time we start with the problems we "humans" are creating for ourselves and other species by our carelessness. I love Charity's bumper sticker. If we do not address global warming, etc. we won't need to answer the other two questions about a flatter world and a more dangerous world because there won't be a world to survive in.
