  • Harmony in Sustainability

  • Envisioning the Daoist Body in the Economy of Cosmic Power

    "From a sociological perspective, religious traditions represent and construct the collective values and systems of meaning of human societies. As such, religious traditions influence the way their adherents interpret their experience of the world and, consequently, influence their actions upon it. Religious ideologies, however, are themselves always in medias res. Even though their adherents may uphold an eternal vision of archaic principles handed down from the gods, in actuality this vision is continuously renegotiated and reconstructed in conversation with the changing demands of historical and cultural context."

  • Backpackers

    "Backpackers hike through green woods in this peaceful mountain setting, with a soft gray sky overhead. Cows graze in the area nearby, blending in perfectly with the quiet surroundings. This harmonious existence is a representation of sustainable life, in which people and animals coexist on the land with appreciation and respect. We guarantee the protection of this natural sanctuary so that future generations can continue to appreciate its unspoiled beauty through ethical exploration and efforts to conserve."

  • Balance and Harmony

    "I took this photo when traveling in Ireland, I was amazed at the natural beauty of the land. I believe this photo represents sustainability because nature has control; as far as the eye can see, the landscape looks almost untouched by human interaction. The glimpse of a lighthouse can be spotted in the distance and the structure from where I took the photo are the only human-made things. Sustainability is about not leeching off of nature or trying to control it, but finding balance and harmony with the natural world." Taken by Ava Sickler-Michaud. Submitted to the RESTORExchange Sustainability Photo Contest.

  • Monarch Caterpillars

    "Monarch caterpillars eating native milkweed at the UAB Solar House. These caterpillars were put on milkweed surrounding the Solar House to help the Monarch butterfly population. This photo is important becuase it shows that if we want to support our native species we need to plant native host plants. The UAB Solar House has native plants in abundance to show the public that if you plant natives then the native species will come!" Taken by Emily Colpack. Submitted to the RESTORExchange Sustainability Photo Contest.

  • Bunch of Friends

    "A bunch of friends posing in nature next to a natural giant ice waterfall. Sustainability to me means, not just enjoying time outdoors with friends and learning about nature/sustainability together, but it’s also a super rewarding feeling to 'take nothing but memories and pictures and leave only footprints.'" Taken by Drew Owens. Submitted to the RESTORExchange Sustainability Photo Contest.

Taken by Georgia McLachlan. Submitted to the RESTORExchange Sustainability Photo Contest.
