A New Way to Experience Time
Now in its fifth edition, The ECOlogical Calendar seeks nothing less than to revolutionize our conception of time. Unlike the typical Gregorian calendar’s gridlike format, The ECOlogical Calendar’s colorful three-foot-long panels depict Earth’s four seasons—from solstice to equinox or equinox to solstice—and examine the relationship of the planet’s organisms with their environment. Each panel’s design reflects the interactions among Earth, sea, and sky while emphasizing the age-old procession of life from season to season. In addition, this year’s ECOlogical Calendar includes exciting new information from NASA Earth Observations (NEO), which processes the massive amounts of data gathered by satellites for use in studying the forces shaping our planet. The space race of the 1960s put a man on the moon. But it wasn’t the lunar landscape that inspired awe so much as the view from space of our own spinning orb with its blue oceans and white clouds—a powerful reminder of our responsibility to care for Earth’s well-being. Thanks to NEO, now more than ever The ECOlogical Calendar will help you do just that. The ECOlogical Calendar makes a beautiful wall display, but its accordion-fold panels can just as easily be used at a desk.
