Hand-in-hand with conservationist Bob, who had designed one of the first solar projects in Bird Springs, Arizona during the seventies, Bob and Jenny continue to lead our communities in caring for our Mother Earth, through education, management of natural resources, demographic advocacy, and caring for our neighborhoods as they build and renovate affordable L.E.E.D. certified homes, with affordable utilities.<\/span><\/p>\n The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it ~ Psalm 24 ASU Student Combats Global Vulnerabilities with Sustainable Technology As Ota explains, \u201cI was amazed by the beautiful untouched nature of Bangladesh. But I also saw highly polluted air and water, which was depressing.\u201d<\/p>\n Around this time, Ota\u2019s native Japan was shaken by a major earthquake that, in turn, triggered a tsunami reaching 133 feet in height. The wave disabled the power supply and nullified the cooling mechanisms for three reactors at Fukushima\u2019s nuclear plant. The consequences of the subsequent meltdown left a lasting impression on Ota and heightened her passion for stable and sustainable energy.<\/p>\n Eager for solutions and up for a challenge, Ota enrolled in Arizona State University\u2019s School of Sustainability. Three years later, Ota is a Norton and Ramsey Sustainability Scholarship recipient researching energy sources that are stable, renewable and can support internet-based social services.<\/p>\n Whether tackling vulnerabilities in the First or Third World, it is evident that Ota is a force for change. Her conscientious approach to technological entrepreneurship is sure to have a lasting impact”.<\/div>\n ————–<\/p>\n ESTABLISHED in 2009 with a gift from Jenny Norton and Bob Ramsey, the Norton and Ramsey Sustainability Scholarship was the very first endowment for undergraduate students at:<\/p>\n Arizona State University\u2019s Global Institute of Sustainability<\/a>:<\/p>\n It is awarded each fall semester to a School of Sustainability undergraduate major (sophomore level or higher) who is interested in pursuing studies about how populations facing poverty and social justice issues may be more likely to benefit from sustainability practices.<\/p>\n ALSO, our Foundation serves Jenny’s alma mater at\u00a0ASU’s School of Religious Studies<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0The Arava Institute<\/a>, of the Ben Gurion University within the Negev of Israel for advancing awareness, research and knowledge of our cause: working with ASU’s Professor Joel Gereboff, ASU\u2019s Hillel Director Emeritus Rabbi Barton Lee, and Arava Institute’s Director David Lehrer, Jenny and Bob scholarship Arizona State University students from our Religious Studies Department to send them to study at the premier environmental research facility of our planet, the Arava Institute of Ben Gurion University, located within the Negev of Israel.<\/p>\n AND THROUGH, \u00a0ASU’s Institute for Humanities Research<\/a>\u00a0(where Jenny initiated a\u00a0Women and Gender Studies Research Cluster<\/a>\u00a0), Jenny and Bob are also funding educational work through the Institute for Humanities Research, building on their work being done at the Global Institute of Sustainability, (GIOS), to enable face-to-face dialogue among members of groups which include scientists, social scientists, and humanists.<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n A reporter from The Arizona Republic, Steve Yozwiak, wrote, referring to Jenny’s purchase and use of an electric-powered car during the seventies and eighties, that “State Representative Jenny Norton has always been a little ahead of her time.”<\/p>\n The Phoenix Gazette reporter, Richard de Uriarte, agreed about her environmental activism, writing that “within weeks she has become chief advocate of clean-burning fuels and groundwater recharge.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cLook away, you rollin’ river;\u00a0<\/span>Shenandoah, I will not deceive you\u201d<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 1987 by Special Rider Music~<\/span>Bob Dylan Hal Schrader\/Traditional\u00a0<\/span>Reprinted with permission to JL Norton.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n As co-prime sponsor of the 1989 Omnibus Clean Air Act, Jenny’s language regarding Arizona’s mandated use of ethanol passed, was signed into law, and, despite harsh lobbying against it by the oil industry, is stated verbatim on each retail gasoline pump today.<\/p>\n Jenny\u2019s Arizona Revised Statute: Codified 1989<\/p>\n ~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/span>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/span><\/p>\n The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies<\/a><\/p>\n Jenny and Bob welcome you to walk alongside\u00a0Habitat for Humanity of Central Arizona<\/a>, Habitat for Humanity International<\/a>, Habitat para la Humanidad Guatemala<\/a>, the City of Tempe<\/a>, Arizona State University<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0New Course<\/a>,\u00a0and Green & Healthy Homes Initiative<\/a>, (with supportive experts from the Clinton Global Initiative America<\/a>) as together we\u00a0help to build sustainable and affordable homes for the Least Among Us.<\/p>\n —————– The Ramsey Foundation’s first keystone sustainable build of an affordable home with affordable utilities was in Glendale, Arizona.
