The Green Living Project in Africa

Gregory is supporting the Green Living Project, a 5-year project traveling around the world to document successful examples of sustainable or ‘green living’ projects. GLP will study and report on projects administered by leading conservation organizations (e.g. Conservation International, World Wildlife Fund, African Wildlife Foundation), tour companies (e.g. CC Africa), tourism boards (e.g. Kenya Tourism), and resorts/lodges, etc.

The crew has started in Africa and are posting updates on their blog. We’ll keep the RSS feed of their dispatches in our sidebar. GLP is an interesting and adventurous project. The results of this expedition will provide us with insight and ideas behind a smaller footprint.

How to…tie your shoes.

As Bill Cosby says, “…intellectuals study things that people do naturally”. And so it is with lacing your shoes, or boots for that matter. What some might consider a very natural activity has been “studied” by the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, and they have concluded that “certain lacing techniques for shoes can prevent injuries, alleviate pain, and relieve foot problems”.

They have documented these various techniques in their “Lacing Techniques for a Proper Shoe Fit”. (The Propet shoe company has the info with more detailed illustrations.)

The AOFAS’ site contains a wealth of footwear information, including:

Hit the Trail also offers boot lacing tips that address the toe-mashing impacts from “…the relentless downhill grades ” in Grand Canyon country.

Also, Ian’s Shoelace Site provides 33 Ways to Lace Your Shoes.
