One of
civilization’s greatest contradictions concerns our relationship to the
environment and how we value it: as a resource to be enjoyed or exploited; as
our heritage and commons, or a prize for the rich; and also as the space we
occupy, and how we determine who those occupants will be. "Western Promise" is a Fibonacci

and embodies issues of water scarcity, allocation and conservation in the
famous "golden mean."
