But we were prepared, using our 2017 Fjord Trends as a guide, to uncover the most inspiring work and topics that will continue to evolve this coming year.
Twelve months of research, 1000+ cups of coffee, and probably an entire forest worth of Post-its (don’t worry—we recycle). That’s what it took for us to compile our Trends 2017 report, which offers an in-depth look at the eight most important developments we believe will influence and impact design and innovation for business, government and society in the coming year.

Protecting the environment should be as important as the protection of your own life. Primarily, we all should be aware of the term environment. All living things survive within their own favorable zones of the environment thus the environment is not something that can be neglected easily without caring for it. It is very important for us to protect our environment, so that we can continue to live on this planet in a healthy and safe atmosphere. It is essential for us to segregate waste so that we can protect everybodys health. We must not only focus on caring about our health. Proper waste disposal and management can be done by applying the 3R – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Reducing means lessening the amount of trash garbage produced. Reusing refers to using materials more than once while recycling means creating new material or product out of trash garbage. Environmental protection is one of the basic prerequisites for the overall development of any country in the world. As awareness of environmental protection is developed, human awareness is also developed about the need to preserve the environment by preventing adverse impacts on nature. Law, as a scientific discipline, plays a significant role in these endeavors.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

W
hen doing a garden project –
or really any project – with
students, Thora Gray believes
“the repetition is really important. When
you’re not outside doing it and touching
it, conceptually it’s harder to grasp.”
At Austin Discovery School, Gray
teaches a course called EcoWellness to
K-4 once weekly. But what she’s actually
teaching her students pulses further than
the school grounds: to look at the world
around them – and their roles within it
– with proud, active and discerning eyes.
Five of her students, ages ten and
eleven, gather in their school’s ‘reuse free
store,’ a room stocked with recyclable
materials salvaged for future projects.
The shelves are packed with glass bot-
tles, cans, paper and baskets filled with
odds and ends. On the floor across from
the shelves is a metal feed trough, where
recently hatched chicks scurry and peep
under a red heat lamp. It is a room full
of potential.
Gray directs the students in a quick
review about eggs. They pull old cartons
from the shelves and refer to their defini-
tions lists to recall what words like ‘cage-
free,’ or ‘free-range,’ or ‘organic’ really
mean about the chickens’ welfare, how
these words contribute to a production
value chain, and how personally to be
critical consumers. And then they head
out into the school gardens, with Gray
recalling its story on the way.
“So [the students] prepped the soil,
they planted the seed, they weeded, they
watered, they waited, they harvested,
we did it all over again. And while we
waited, [we built] benches,” Gray said,
gesturing at the colorful hand-paint-
ed benches bordering the garden. “And
then we chopped up all of our veggies
and then we all sat down and had a meal
together. So it’s really neat [for the stu-
dents] to see that full cycle from the farm
to the table.”
The five kids weave through the
gardens on newsprint and burlap sack
pathways, crouch down, pawing light-
ly among the beds, and with big smiles
hold up their treasures.
“There’s a little bit of carrots and
some snap peas,” said one boy, pointing.
“And I think that’s chard.”
“Try the carrots, they’re SO deli-
cious,” said his classmate as she held up
a finger-sized carrot. “And yeah, that’s
chard. It’s beautiful. It’s so rainbowy-ish.”
They start snacking and sharing,
explaining the recipes they’re learning
to incorporate these vegetables into and
discussing what they know from Gray’s
class. “This week I’m doing a burger, and
I use this lettuce for the burger,” said
another student. He reached down into
the bed to twitch the growing leaf. “Next
week I’m gonna learn how to make a
really awesome pot roast that my dad
makes.”
“We don’t put any stuffity-stuff on
them. Pesticides,” clarified the girl still
chewing the carrot. “So basically pesti-
cide is this toxic spray that farmers put
on their plants, and it makes all the bugs
go away, but including the good bugs,
like bees and ladybugs…and it’s even
toxic to us. Like at the grocery store we’ll
get some food and it’ll say ‘made in gar-
dens that no bugs are,’ meaning there’s a
price to pay.”
Other projects include a pollina-
tion garden where bees sit lazily on giant
saffron-colored marigolds; a steaming
compost pile, neatly chicken-wired, that
the students eagerly climb up on to turn
with shovels; and a mini market to sell
vegetables from the garden to the com-

munity, aiming to raise funds for a future
goat project. Currently Gray is working
with her students to complete an Eco-
Rise Eco-Audit Grant application to ex-
pand their food garden and reduce waste
by adding more compost and recycling
bins to the school grounds.
Gray, who is good friends with
many of her students’ parents, loves be-
ing able to turn these practical projects
into lessons about choice and action.
“That is something that’s profound, you
know?” she said. “Kids who don’t touch
vegetables normally are so into it! And
I got so many emails from parents say-
ing, ‘Thank you so much! My son came
home and said, “We have to make bok
choy!”’ It’s just the coolest thing in the
world.”
Likewise, Gray’s students clear-
ly know they have a gem for a teach-
er; they squeeze into a group-hug belt
around her waist before dashing off
to their next class, leaving her stand-
ing in contemplation of the garden.

GARDENS
AND WITH
BIG SMILES

THEIR
TREASURES.
When asked about the challenge of
aligning her students’ work with the real
world, she refers back to the chicken wel-
fare lesson. “They ask, ‘what can we do
about it?’ And I ask them, can you vote?
They all say, no we can’t vote…that’s like
what, eight, nine, ten years away?” “But
you vote with your money,” she goes
on. “So every time you go somewhere,
your money is your voice. And it doesn’t
matter how old you are. You can make
a choice. And so hopefully they’re tak-
ing that out there. And then I challenge
them again: you now need to go and talk
to somebody who doesn’t know about it.
Have those conversations.”
Gray shared that from a young age
she spent her free time outdoors climb-
ing trees and catching frogs and snakes,
laying the foundation for a lasting rela-
tionship with the natural environment.
It’s that connection that inspires her to
teach. “When students become passion-
ate about what we are talking about and
doing, Nature becomes the teacher; it
is an intrinsic approach. Knowledge of
humanity’s ecological footprint becomes
more transferable as that deep relation-
ship forms within each student.”
