The Association of Polelathe Turners and Greenwood Workers was created in 1990 by a group of a dozen like minded individuals who wanted to rescue the art of polelathe turning and greenwood working from obscurity. The organisation has a global membership of over 500. Local groups meet informally and can regularly be found in several places. Some have their own news pages on this site. The Ask and Answer bulletin board is a goldmine of information about greenwood working with experts from around the world contributing excellent answers to questions posed and loads more besides.Fri, 06 Feb 2009 14:56:56 GMThttp://www.green2013.com/Environmental_Arts/detail/link-58.htmlThe Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, founded in 1995, is the nation's largest natural habitat refuge developed specifically for endangered African and Asian elephants. It operates on 2,700 acres in Hohenwald, Tennessee - 85 miles southwest of Nashville. The Elephant Sanctuary exists for two reasons: To provide a haven for old, sick or needy elephants in a setting of green pastures, dense forests, spring-fed ponds and heated barns for cold winter nights.

We are an all volunteer organization; most of us professional touring musicians who are concerned about the health of our planet. Many of us draw our inspiration from the land, and feel the need to give something back toward protecting it. We have banded together to release powerful collections of music. The profits from the M.U.S.E. compilation recordings goes toward grants to small, cutting-edge conservation organizations that can get a lot done with limited amounts of funding. By supporting M.U.S.E. you are also supporting important environmental projects all across America.

Orlo is a nonprofit organization using the creative arts to explore environmental issues. Over the years, Orlo productions have fallen into four main categories: art exhibitions, live performance work, publications, and public awareness campaigns. These productions use the powerful medium of the arts to explore controversial and typically polarized social and ecological themes and issues. Orlo's focus is on fresh, often ironic approaches to the these themes and the search for elusive common ground. Orlo is developing programs that encourage understanding of cultural and social difference, and that promote dialogue concerning pertinent ecological issues. Currently, Orlo’s focus is publishing The Bear Deluxe Magazine, facilitating visual art at the Orlo Exhibition Space and elsewhere and providing leadership in the field of environmental art.Fri, 06 Feb 2009 02:59:19 GMThttp://www.green2013.com/Environmental_Arts/detail/link-48.htmlErica Fielder Studio recently won the "Sustainable Small Business Award for Longevity and Success in Mendocino County."

Shai is an eco-artist who is comparable to a doctor practicing alternative medicine, who would never offer you a painkiller, but would examine the body as a whole; or to a judge, who would send a transgressor to a rehabilitation program rather than to jail; to a philosopher who would always explore multiple versions and variations before he finds that singular insight; to “sublime nature” that often invokes in its beholder magical sensations that are never quite deciphered; wishing to utter our admiration, we feel close to the place and it becomes so precious to us that we want to preserve it.Fri, 06 Feb 2009 14:32:42 GMThttp://www.green2013.com/Environmental_Arts/detail/link-61.htmlSculpture and installations that provide shelter, food, water or space for wildlife, as eco-atonement for their loss of habitat to human encroachment. Lynne's current projects link communities from Canada to South America through our shared wildlife. Some raise human awareness of our trans-species relationship and harmonious ways to live that relationship in the landscape. While assisting wildlife, when possible projects are also designed with components of sustainable economic development for humans. Research and consultation are essential to project success. Lynne prefers direct collaboration with wildlife specialists, environmental interpreters, landscape architects, and local people for design integration. Most artworks function in the temporal gap between the time reclamation of damaged sites begins and the time nature recovers.Fri, 06 Feb 2009 14:32:42 GMThttp://www.green2013.com/Environmental_Arts/detail/link-60.htmlAustin Green Art (AGA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about important environmental issues via hands-on, creative, community-based programming & events.

I hope my book will entertain, inspire, comfort, and educate, and I hope animal-people will use some of the suggestions and resources contained in the Appendix. Most especially, I hope all rescuers, advocates and groups will take advantage of the quantity discount arrangement with the publishers and use Pieces of My Heart to help raise funds for their own efforts."Fri, 06 Feb 2009 02:59:19 GMThttp://www.green2013.com/Environmental_Arts/detail/link-55.htmlThe Nuclear Project is dedicated to shutting down All Nuclear Power Plants world wide.

This meeting is known as the Tao or the way of the universe. In my artwork I attempt to translate this understanding into visuals and experiences that communicate the underlying constant truth of the laws of nature. Examples of these "truths" can be a reflection off water, or how sunlight casts a shadow directly behind an object. My latest visual research is into the law of contrast, as seen in "the Tao" (under paintings). This is when the same tone is either darkened or lightened by its neighbouring light or dark tone. It seems like magic, but is in fact simple natural phenomenology.Fri, 06 Feb 2009 02:59:19 GMThttp://www.green2013.com/Environmental_Arts/detail/link-59.htmlTake a look at Jim's artwork or read excerpts from his book Walking With the Wild Wind.
