2. The response that speaks to me the most was the one written by Kurt Caswell. I specifically liked the part where he said, “By art I mean not only writing, painting and dance, but also beekeeping, gardening, cooking, ‘going green’, even conversation, anything at all that may be practiced and refined and so, highly performed” (199). I really liked this idea of creative sustainability because it spoke to things I really enjoy such as beekeeping, gardening, and cooking. Reading this passage made me realize there is a lot of creativity that goes into each of these practices, and becoming better means becoming creative. Even the idea of going green can be creative. Composting, in my household at least, required a lot of creative steps to make sure we were able to actually start that practice. I think the main message of this passage is to say that sustainable practices need to be creative, in order to improve upon them.

3. Thomashow’s perspective on graffiti art is that it is a mostly positive way of expression and way to send a message. Graffiti is not something I have given much thought to, but the way it was presented by Thomashow, I believe that it can be a particularly good way to portray something, especially sustainability. I feel like it can be a powerful way to show the importance of sustainability. As far as its presence and campus, I think it would be a pretty good way to show the school’s commitment to sustainability, one problem I could see arising from it is location. I cannot think of an appropriate location for a legal canvas to be on campus.
