I chose to look at the website Ecojustice Education, this website is directed toward educational idea's and links about the current ecological situation we face around the world. The website interlinks the subjects of not only our physical Environment but also our cultural environment and the way's in which all aspects of our social existence and understanding of our surroundings effects the larger ecosystem. This website has a compelling design that play's on the color green which is universally associated to the enviornment. The information is symetrically layed out with the text at the center of a green frame. There is a quote on the home page that states, "All the flowers of the tommorrows are in the seed of today and yesterday" (anonymous quote) which reflects a metaphor about how the past has created the present which will in turn create our future. This quote represents the basic idea of the website which is to conserve and practice eco-friendly lifestyle behaviors so as to sustain the ecosystem of the past and for the future. There is also a sense of comparing and contrasting on the home page in the section that brief's what the website is about. Here the site compares and contrast the past generations in history and thier ways of living to that of today's generation reflecting how the past generations that concerved and worked the land as individuals rather than as a corporation should be considered seriously by today's generation as a lifestyle habit we reincorporate in our own lives. Overall I thought the site was very informative and well laid out considering the seriousness of it's contents.
