Mariella the Fish

A fish is swimming in a fast cerulean blue ocean. Corals of fuchsia, tangerine, siena, and indigo flutter through Mariella the fish’s eyes. She is amazed at the beauty of color that is surrounding her. She slowly swims through her normal route to work as a banker for Fishcovia. Mariella takes in all that surrounds her and thinks, what go wrong on this beautifully colored day.

BAAAAAM !

Mariella the fish runs straight into two humans eating under water. “WHAT THE ....” I’m sure you can guess what Mariella the fish said, FISH STICKS of course !!

John Lynn, a representative for AIA 2030, talked to the whole department about the importance of going green and reaching a carbon neutral environment. First Mr. Lynn discusses how our society needs to be 50 percent neutral right now, we need to be 60 percent by 2010, 80 percent by 2020, 90 percent by 2025, and full carbon neutralization by 2030.One of the challanges with this goal is the carbon use of everyone. One way to limit this use is for building designers to create structures that will last a long time and can withstand time. “The whole is greater then the sum of its parts, we are a storm on a planet.”
