Three topics that interest me:  Framing of climate change / environmental issues to the public, environmental activism through visual art, and sustainable food systems.

Interesting exciting bit of news I read today:  Indonesian entrepreneur Kevin Kumala invented a plant-based, biodegradable plastic made from a common Indonesian vegetable, and has made rain ponchos, bags, and food containers.
