Improving our environment brick by brick, solar panel by solar panel
Instructor T.H. Culhane and the Zabaleen teachers and students of Cairo in front of their home built solar hot water system in the "garbage recycling community" of Manshiyat Nasser
About Me
- Thomas Henry Culhane
- T.H. Culhane (shown above in Athens, Greece, by the poster to the movie "Stealth" which he contributed vocal music to while working with his friend,composer Brian Transeau) and Sybille Culhane live and work in Egypt, Germany and the United States where they run "Solar Cities". Referring to Herman Daly's comments on the sustainability of Spaceman Economies and Cowboy Economies, we are committed to Boulding and Fuller's notions of helping to maintain "spaceship earth" as a viable home. Thus T.H. is currently pursuing his Ph.D. at UCLA in Urban Planning looking at issues surrounding microeconomic analysis of demand for hot water technologies. Ultimately it is hoped that this will help address implementation challenges for Solar Energy Policy in Egypt while helping to create an Environmental Economics Institute at the American University in Cairo in partnership with his mentor professors (among them Randall Crane (UCLA Institute of the Environment) Jeff Miller (AUC Biology),Salah Arafa (AUC Physics) Tarek Selim (AUC Economics) Salah El Haggar (AUC Engineering) Nick Hopkins (AUC Anthropology) and Moshira Hassan (AUC Marine Ecology)
