Praxis in Landscape Architecture

Quirky news from the past two weeks:

• Nyack, New York residents urged to not “fish, swim, or breathe” during the big heat wave.
• Jakarta residents warned that “cutting down a tree means suffocating two citizens“
• New York City residents discouraged from gathering their salad fixins in Central Park – just when I was starting to think that urban foraging classes are a great new way to engage city folks with the outdoors!
• People in Dhenkanal are worried about the city parks, beloved for their many functions including being the places where laughter clubs meet “to laugh their way to happiness and health”
• And those in Seattle learn how to bring about large-scale behavior change to achieve sustainability. For some reason, that strikes me as funny this week…
