As one of the most exciting art movements of our time, environmental art celebrates our connection to the natural world through beauty, science, metaphor and ecological restoration. It encompasses a surprising landscape of approaches, from ephemeral art in nature sculpture designed to last only a few hours before returning to the earth, to community-based eco- installations which clean up polluted watersheds and promote public understanding of local and global environmental issues. The Environmental Art 2010 wall calendar features fifteen projects drawn from the global archives of greenmuseum(dot)org, a not-for-profit online museum of environmental art. They provide a sampling of some of the latest developments in this field to stimulate the imagination and promote the role of art in the creation of a more sustainable world culture.

Summary: Only Two Really Nice Photos 2010-07-19
Comment: The photo on the front and the photo for July are really cool. July's photo is "Rollercoaster", a photomanipulation of a roller coaster track in the middle of a pond. Aside from those two, the rest of the photos are lackluster.

Summary: Lots of comments from other people 2010-03-15
Comment: I bought this calendar for work because I like to have interesting wall calendars for my own enjoyment. I was very surprised at how many people noticed that I had a new calendar. The January image is a polka dot tree and it caught people's attention. Since then, people regularly comment on the current month's picture, It's a very interesting calendar. By the way, the months and days of the month are nice and roomy.

Comment: This calendar is really nice. I like looking at it, and I also like that there is enough space for me to write reminders (ex: upcoming appointments, etc). My family also enjoys the calendar a lot. The pictures are very nice and I'm glad I purchased this item :)

Summary: This isn't America anymore - Calendar ReWriting History w/Holidays 2010-02-04
Comment: Guess what folks.... Pearl Harbor Rememberance Day doesn't exist with this calendar. That's right, Dec 7th, when our families fought for this country, nah, that's not important anymore. Now we get to celebrate "Muharram - Islamic New Year 1432" on Dec 7th. After all, the Islamics did blow up Americans on American soil, so why not rewrite our holidays too.
