In 2009, for the first time in human history, the majority of us live in an urban setting rather than rural. With this shift comes consequences. Research shows that, despite advances in technology, we are becoming disconnected from nature and each other. Why is this? This blog explores the blurring point between nature and urban life and aims to cultivate new appreciation for and insight into our relationship with the everyday, with the world, and with each other.

Mardi Gras Indians
Super Sunday and Saint Joseph's Night have just passed, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to go see what the events are all about. Beyond Mardi Gras Day, this is the only other time to see the Mardi Gras Indians roaming the Crescent City streets. Donning one of a kind homemade costumes, small tribes move through the city followed by drums and spectators. They make stops at friends and families houses, while challenging other tribes they meet along the way. More info on the history of the Indians.
