This year I entered my college’s writing contest and I won third place for scripts! This is a one act play about an imagined meeting between the father of modern philosophy Rene Descartes and the great environmentalist Alexander von Humboldt. Humboldt’s life was so interesting that there should be a Hamilton-style musical written about him. Here, however, I reimagine only the day he died. Maybe I will expand it one day. There is a critical typo in the republication of my play in the magazine “The Match Factory” (the typo is “yourres extensadeparture”). I suggest through this play that death should be called a “res extensa departure” referencing Descartes’ coined phrase “res extensa” for the material world, rather than using the term “death” meaning an end to life. This play takes place on the last day of Humboldt’s res extensa existence, the day people recognize as the day he died.

Today I was invited to display my photographs of horseshoe crabs and speak about my advocacy for them and the amazing work of Return the Favor NJ in the SVA Student Center. My photos display a beach with trash and debris causing fatal impingements for our beloved sea creatures vs. a beach free of impingements and trash where horseshoe crabs can spawn and do their happy dances in the sand. Happy S/Earth Day Week! Friends of reTURN the Favor The Wetlands Institute
