The Leopold Education Project (LEP) offers an innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum based on the classic writings of renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold. It educates the public on humanity's ties to the natural environment, promoting resource conservation and protection.

Aldo Leopold (1887-1948), author of *A Sand County Almanac*, famously critiqued society's environmental values. As quoted from his work, he observed: "There is as yet no social stigma in the possession of a gullied farm, a wrecked forest, or a polluted stream, provided the dividends suffice to send the youngsters to college."

Dr. Morgan Levine, author of "True Age," outlines three dietary factors for longevity: quantity, quality, and timing. Caloric restriction (a 20% reduction) has shown lifespan benefits in animals, possibly by preventing overeating. A plant-based diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods while limiting animal products and refined sugars, is also beneficial. Fasting, or time-restricted eating, may mimic caloric restriction benefits via 'hormesis,' boosting resilience to aging.

Optimal diet is individual, influenced by genetics and age, and should be monitored via biological age and well-being. Dr. Levine, a former Yale professor now at Altos Labs, researches aging systems. For more, watch "The science of super longevity" or read the transcript on Big Think.

Scientific researcher Morgan Vague discovered plastic-eating bacteria, a potential solution to the global plastic pollution problem. Despite being told in school she wasn't "smart enough" for math

Scientific researcher Morgan Vague discovered plastic-eating bacteria, a potential solution to the global plastic pollution problem. Despite being told in school she wasn't "smart enough" for math and science, Morgan pursued her passion.

After high school, she enrolled at Houston Community College, completing remedial math and basic science courses. Accepted to Reed College, a microbiology course ignited her passion for science. Graduating in 2018 with a Biology degree, she is now a research assistant at Reed, focusing on bacterial biodegradation to combat plastic pollution.

Water Protectors at the main resistance camp in North Dakota vowed continued resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) as the camp was largely vacated following a Wednesday eviction order.

Water Protectors at the main resistance camp in North Dakota vowed continued resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) as the camp was largely vacated following a Wednesday eviction order. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and North Dakota governor imposed a deadline, leading to around 10 arrests. Before the eviction, prayer ceremonies were held, and part of the camp was set on fire.

Protectors assert the camp sits on unceded Sioux territory under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. While most left, a couple dozen people remain. This encampment, once hosting over 10,000, was the largest gathering of Native Americans in decades. Construction on the final pipeline section resumed after the Trump administration granted an easement to drill beneath the Missouri River.
