It is clearly outlined that through the evolution of cars, many small but significant things have been sacrificed including the “sounds of acceleration instead of birdsong”, “no trees/ unless as exotica” and any form of neighbourhood qualities for example “no more streets begging hopscotch squares”. Dawe is showing how in his predicted future, any sense of natural beauty is trumped by society’s overwhelming need for

International airport, off the Pacific Coast highway one. It was a typical routine indeed, to arise in the wee ours of early Saturday mornings, to drive and arrive at the most beautiful, unforgettable beach. In spite of rude awakening to the cacophony of birdsongs in the break of dawn, it was a galvanizing routine on Saturday mornings, over loading our hideous, yellow bronco, and driving to the beach. In addition to our drive, we passed exit after exit, up and around the egregious neighborhoods and squalid

Also known as economic inequality setting boundaries within a society. Some consequences of this inequality are stifling growth, increases in political inequality and increases in crime.

The YBWA provides an essential home to numerous species of birds. The presence of birds was abundantly evident from the moment I pulled into the YBWA. I rolled down my windows as I drove up to the auto tour road and was flooded with the sound of birdsong. While I was

I believe that the people, the place, and the stories we are born, and grown, from shape us — our strengths, our passions, our weaknesses, our values — far more than a few brief semesters in college. As a transfer student, dimensions of nature and delicate balance are the only ELAs I will take at Green Mountain College, dimensions of nature being the single ELA I have completed.
