Your Feedback Needed! Wisconsin's Plan for Environmentally Literate and Sustainable Communities

Now is your chance to have a voice in the future of environmental education and sustainable communities in Wisconsin!

We at Nature Net are excited about the new Wisconsin Plan for Environmentally Literate and Sustainable Communities, preliminarily released this month from the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board (WEEB), Wisconsin Environmental Education Foundation (WEEF) and the Wisconsin Association for Environmental Education (WAEE), in partnership with a range of individuals and organizations across the state. Building on Wisconsin's history of strong conservation ethic and environmental education leadership, this plan serves as a pathway for moving forward in developing an environmentally literate twenty-first century society comprised of sustainable communities. This encompassing proposal focuses on the knowledge, skills and attitudes of Wisconsinites at home, work, school and play, in promotion of healthy citizens and environment. (To read the plan, click here.)

The plan is currently in a Public Preview Period (October 17-24, 2011), and your feedback is welcome! Take a moment to review and comment on Wisconsin's Plan for Environmentally Literate and Sustainable Communities and have a say in EE and sustainable living in Wisconsin. The final version will be unveiled at the WAEE Fall Conference in November.

Crystals and Flakes

Humid air rising from a warm river on a cold, still morning can form hoar frost on nearby trees and grasses. From fog to flakes to frigid frosts, we have been seeing all kinds of winter weather lately. While this freezing and thawing may be frustrating for ski hills, icefishermen, and winter drivers, it does set the stage for spotting some interesting frosty phenomena with some funny names. Most people know that water condenses during cool nights to create dew , and frost is its winter companion. Shimmering ice crystals form when water vapor in the air attaches to cold solid surfaces, crusting up your lawn and drawing delicate designs on window panes. Have you ever woken up on a cold, clear morning to find the whole world covered in a beautiful white coating of hoar frost ? These especially large and beautiful crystals form when water vapor in humid air settles on objects that are well below freezing, turning directly into a solid (a process called " deposition "), or   bec

Nije me bilo dve sedmice jer  nisam stizala da se odvojim od lap topa i crtanja,posla i tako u krug.Ali kada me je put naveo da posetim po prvi put ekskluzivnu marinu Porto Montenegro u Tivtu iskoristila sam priliku i za fotkanje. Ovo je definitivno nova IN destinacija u komsiluku koja  privlaci u Tivat kapetane ,posadu ,velike jahte kao i turiste i transformise grad u jednu od vodecih destinacija plavog Jadrana. Marina je zamisao multimilionera Pitera Manka ,koji se nada da ce njegovi planovi to podrucje pretvoriti u glamurozno i ekonomsko zariste koje ce biti velika konkurencija rivalima kao sto su Monako,Kan i Portofino.Kompleks je podeljen u pet manjih celina pod imenima : Teuta,Ozana,Zeta,Tara i Milena.Projekat je ambiciozno sastavljen i u njegovom sadrzaju se nalazi i 185 vezova koji su skoro popunjeni i rekreativnim sadrzajima kao i soping centrom ,statusom medjunarodne luke kao i kompletnim servisom za snabdevanje jahti svim mogucim potrepstinama. Ovog meseca u “Porto Montenegr
