Ecopolis München: Environmental Stories of Discovery is an exhibition on Munich’s environmental histories and showcases the final projects of students in the Environmental Studies Certificate Program of the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society.
The physical Ecopolis München 2019 exhibition also included a station for younger visitors. Every station was told as a story for children. After an adult reads the stories to the children, they could draw their impressions on paper at a nearby table. This station was created by Isabelle Hermannstädter.
Ismaning Reservoir: A Wastewater Lake changes its Feathers? At the Ismaning Reservoir, approximately an hour by bike northeast of Marienplatz, the interplay between humans and nature is evident. It is not possible to swim in the lake. But it does more than just store water for Munich’s power generation facilities. It also provides a habitat for many species.
In this episode from the New Books Network podcast, former Rachel Carson Center fellow Helen Rozwadowski is interviewed on her 2018 book, Vast Expanses: A History of the Oceans.
