A Call to the President of Rice University, Houston, Texas: Adopt a small ecological footprint
Rice University is a small, much esteemed higher education facility within the city of Houston. The university has enjoyed a high standing throughout the tertiary education community in the United States and beyond for decades.
The university is self-contained in that it is situated on a unitary campus This means that the University has charge of its environs and can take and implement the necessary steps to become a model for ecological responsibility and serve as an exemplar to both its home city of Houston, and to other universities in the United States, if not else where.
The drive towards a small ecological footprint should take the form of a business model, with a mission statement and projected goals and a stated means of attaining them. The University would be advised in seeking and gaining sponsors as indication to the world at large that Rice University has the support of others who, in turn, might decide to adopt similar aims as part of their business model.
Good Corporate Governance and Citizenry, and Corporate Excellence extend to the world in which the corporation finds itself.
Rice University is well paced to become a Center of Excellence for Ecological Studies and their Application, should it choose to do so.
The President of Rice University is urged to adopt this challenge which will surely bring greater honour and prestige to the university he serves.
In closing, the writer wishes to state that he has no desire or intention of having his mane attached to whatever the university chooses to do, since the call must be agnostic.

Performance piece, title is provisional.
The remedying the ill effects of our current way of starts at the local, starts with us as individuals. The piece does not address how this might be done. Rather, #P3 gives voice to the children throughout the world who are striking from school and engaging in other acts to draw attention to the fact that, should we continue as we are doing, they will have no world in which to live.
Examples abound but here are one or two:
No future, no children: Teens refusing to have kids until there’s action on climate change
Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg took her fight for climate change to Capitol Hill for a second day, demanding lawmakers “take real action.” (Sept. 18) AP, AP
A Canadian teen’s pledge not to have children until her government takes serious action against climate change is drawing support from young people around the globe.
Emma Lim, 18, launched a climate change movement this week called “#No Future, No Children” that includes a website where other teens can take her pledge.
“I am giving up my chance of having a family because I will only have children if I know I can keep them safe,” she says on her website. “It breaks my heart, but I created this pledge because I know I am not alone. … We’ve read the science, and now we’re pleading with our government.”
By Thursday afternoon more than 1,200 children had signed on.
Nota bene: Kids are baby goats. Children do not deserve to be diminutized
Not sure at this point how the performance piece will structure. One thing for sure – no kids, only children.
