Fred, list and ccs 

1. I support your efforts to put more list emphasis on HANPP. How about 
HANPPropriation? (Getting at the "A" twice for emphasis) 
But I am hoping to hear more about increasing GPP and NPP, so how about HAANPP, 
with the new added A meaning "Augmentation", so we can also have 
HAANPPropriation , with no wasted syllables. 

2. It was interesting to learn the historic (visual) reason for the Polo Club 
name that Dr. Seitz alerted us to. 

But liking the non-visual reason in Ken's last suggestion, how about: 
"myopoecotopia" (Alliteration (4 o's) being promoted by Joe Romm.)

"Conserve" isn't really right because we've been "anthroforming" Terra since 
the beginning of the Holocene -- 15 kya domestication of animals and dogs, 12 
kya mass extinctions, 8 kya rice/methane if you believe William Ruddiman, 3000 
ya agriculture, deforestation of Greece, 1750 industrial era ..;.For better or 
worse Holocene == conserve. 


I'd like to find a word that conveys human appropriation of net primary 
productivity -- HANPPoforming?

Ken, I suspect the word you are looking for is " conserve". 


Anthroform is what God does to dust in Genesis , and<a href="

fairly green lot.

Maybe the word is "anthroform" --.transforming the Earth to better meet human 
needs. 


This could perhaps be contrasted with "naturaform" -- transforming the Earth to 
better meet the needs of existing natural systems. 


These both could be contrasted with our current policy: "myopeconoform" -- 
transforming the Earth as a consequence of efforts to maximize short-term 
economic objectives.
