Before class on Tuesday I was completely lost when it came to ideas for my senior project. I have written so many papers on numerous different environmental subjects and would like this project to be completely different from those. I am extremely grateful to all the people who threw out suggestions for me, it really helped get the ball moving. The two ideas that stick out to me the most right now are:
1.) Exploring where the food on campus comes from. Is it viable to have local food on campus? Compare Appalachian to other campus cafeterias.
2.) Uncovering the mystery of Heavenly Mountain. Find out the history behind it and where it is going now. How environmentally sustainable really is the community?
Since I am attempting to stear away from a paper, I would like to incorporate my findings for either potential project into a film. I know that making movies isn't easy and will take time, I have actually made 4 or 5 over my college career. I am going to research both topics and see if either one's completion is actually possible before the end of the semester.

Sara,
ReplyDeleteI told you I would pass along some information on Heavenly Mountain. I currently live here and know a bit of the history and personally continue to be intrigued by both it's history and future. I mentioned in class the future plans I've heard about towards the idea of a sustainable pod community.
Since I was personally curious about this I did a little research about it and ran across this site:
http://freedommountain.org/
This has information on the pods themselves along with plans to convert heavenly mtn into a (resort) community involving these. I believe it also has information in regards to the community in California where they got a lot of their information from (maybe another community you might want to look into).
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions I'd love to talk to you about this topic!

Hey Sara! Sorry I didn't get up with you this weekend, it was pretty hectic. If you want to collaborate or discuss things via email that would work for me (kb76117@appstate.edu) or we can talk in class or something. I think you said you work until 6 most days and I usually work weekends until 6 and my class schedules are pretty spread out, so we can definitely do some research and whatnot during the week. I haven't done much research on Heavenly Mountain yet because I forgot to over the weekend, but hopefully I will have some before class!
