Spaceship Earth: What Can I Do? is a multimedia environmental presentation I’ve been sharing since 2012. Because of COVID I have recorded two 60 minute versions and uploaded them to Youtube and now have the ability of sharing anywhere around the globe!
I was born south of Cleveland, Ohio in the small town of Berea near the Cuyahoga River, which used to catch on fire in the 1960’s because it was so polluted. I remember doing art projects on this in 4th grade. Between that and growing up in the beautiful Midwest woods, I was connected with nature and knew the names of all the birds and trees and deeply inspired to take care of our beautiful home we call Earth.
My favorite class in college was entitled “Spaceship Earth,” a term coined by Buckminster Fuller in 1952. On the first day of class, we were asked to close our eyes and “imagine we’re on a spaceship, way out in space. We’ve only got so much air, so much water...” I got it right away! That’s us, Earth. We have a limited amount of resources that will not be replaced!
These are the kind of stories I share in “Spaceship Earth” along with art, photography, science, and live music which uses both the left and right parts of the brain, making for an even stronger impact. And it's a fun way to learn!

Thank you for your time!
