Strangely enough (or not) In the intro to The Upcycle, Bill McDonough quotes Hildegard von Bingen:
Glance at the sun.
See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greetings.

Think.

Our Special Location
Located on the west bank of Shoal Creek, this historic settlement site
is a significant treasure located right in the heart of downtown Austin.
Shoal Creek Conservancy recently nominated this property for the Untold Marker Program of the Texas Historical Commission. It is the site of once thriving early African-American and Hispanic settlements along the creek. The marker would highlight the unique and untold history of these early Austin settlements as well as the legend of a buried Spanish treasure at the site, drawing attention to the stories of our historically underrepresented communities and creating a destination along the trail.
Special Thanks to GSD&M and Karen Knight for their generosity and for being great stewards of this special place on Mother Earth.
