A phrase I'm sick of

"The built environment." They can stick that one up their charrette.

Amen.

OT - And thanks for the nostalgia trip with the picture of Corno's!

The Institute for the Built Environment (IBE) founded in Colorado has many pages of sustainababble. The "lenses" division is recruiting!!: Pilot Projects
We are currently seeking project partners who are interested in a mutually beneficial exchange.
In exchange, a pilot project would offer the opportunity to engage in meaningful applied learning on your project. Partnering organizations understand that they are participating in the advanced development and refinement of future LENSES products and would agree to a service for fee contract. A pilot project partner agree to collaboratively incorporate the LENSES process in their of their project development. Inherent in this process is the need for open communication, mutual respect, and passion.

The news trucks will be lined up outside. NOT.

"Built Environment = Demolished Natural World"

Those same greedy idiots will sell you recycled sewage for drinking water.

In most cases it doesn't add much, but the example shown was for a session on disabled access, which is kind of hard to talk about except at the top level of abstraction (nature vs built environment).

Although maybe "Barriers to getting around town for people with disabilities" is the topic. Though then some would still complain that it uses the pc term " people with disabilities" rather than reducing people to their limitations by calling them "the disabled."

And Soylent Green!
