feedback loop

Published: April 03, 2022 | Updated: February 29, 2024

A feedback loop is when a system is circled back and used as an input. This process can amplify the system and/or inhibit the system.

Feedback loops are important because they allow systems to maintain balance, and living organisms to maintain homeostasis.

Places that create feedback loops are:

  • Nature
  • Education systems
  • News media and social media
  • Words and narrative (internal & external)

Climate change causes complications in Natures feedback loops such as:

  • Increase in forest fires
  • Ocean-warming
  • Arctic methane release
  • Desertification

It is important for climate modeling to take into account the amount of carbon (and other GHGs) released due to these feedback loops to accurately inform climate policy, in order to successfully achieve temperature or GHG concentration targets.

That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

From 3.7 billion miles away, Earth is a pale blue dot.

Earth Week Photo Journal | April 19 - 25
One week.
One white frame.
One collective exhale.

This upcoming Earth Week, Project White Frame is seeking artists, land stewards, and community members to document and celebrate what they love in their everyday Nature. The ask is simple: find a part of Nature you love — or something designed to protect it — and surround it with a white frame.

Somewhere along the way, Earth Day became a marketing tagline. A limited-edition product drop. This event is a small act of reclamation, designed to remember the why...

Nature is the art.
The white frame is a mark of unity.
A border that says: This matters. Look here.
Remember this...
How to Participate
Find: a part of Nature you love or something designed to protect it.
Frame: it with a white frame. Get creative, a frame is anything that supports the subject.
Share: why it matters #ProjectWhiteFrame2026
