With an invocation of his sister’s and father’s piano playing, Eric Keeling offers a focused discussion of sustainability in the context of carbon and climate. Then, adding a dose of artistic license to an ecological approach, Keeling explores our evolving relationships with ocean waves, compost, the internet, music, and wilderness. Keeling’s unfolding personal ecology weaves disparate themes into a creative and critical reflection on sustainability, ending with a hopeful vision of reverence and reconciliation.
