Geography 12 students (or wanyone else for that matter), what do you think of the Gaia Hypothesis... is our physical planet connected in some way, self-regulating and managing its own systems for the purpose of survival?

Earthquake damage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti January 2010


We've looked at culture, environment, politics, and economy in our SS10 course... the history and geography of Canada, but these things are also unfolding around us in the world, from the Haitian earthquake to the Copenhagen Summit to the Olympics. What is a topic, project, idea, or story you'd like to think about as our course winds down?
