Document Summary
Calculated how far a single tree moved in a single year, which was equal to 7 times around the globe each year. Trees are not simply static entities, but are rather dynamic. Prisons are also static entities: people within are stuck, confined behind bars, despairing cycle of incarceration. Worked with prisons to bring science, sustainability, and conservation projects to inmates. The development of the inmates and the prisons themselves exemplify movement. Those segregated in super-max facilities were brought images of nature in exercise yards. Uses mr. lopez as an example to enhance credibility of her lecture. Small, collective movements of change can move an entity such as the prison system in a direction of hope. Perhaps there are other static entities grief, addictions, racism that can also change. At the beginning of her speech, she says she wants to think about static entities and their movements, specifically by looking at the prison system.
