EALT adds a Literary Connection to its Culture Gallery
January 12, 2012
EALT launched its Culture-Conservation Connection in 2010. Now, a connection with literature has been added to the Photo Gallery and the Art Gallery.
Discussions with Grant MacEwan University began in the spring of 2010, and staff were enthusiastic about enabling students to express their interests in conservation and sustainability through their writings for an electronic journal – “Earth Common”. We agreed that EALT would have input and participate in the Editorial Review Committee. EALT also contributed to a writers’ field workshop along Whitemud Creek “Who Will Speak for Nature? Finding a Voice”.
In the fall, the first issue of Earth Common was published, and EALT was invited to the launch party.

The 3 themes of the journal are:
- Conservation: since this is core to EALT, a conservancy
- Sustainability: and conservation is one of the key tenets of sustainability
- Global Warming: this is only one aspect of climate change. We know that conserving green spaces is both a mitigation and adaptation strategy for climate change
