The Story of Stuff

2009-02-16T06:19:00.000-08:00

The question you'll need to answer after watching this video is what role do consumer habits, corporations and media play in molding our consumer habits. You might also ask yourself how your own habits fit into the picture and in what ways, if any, you can change your habits.

Do you think the picture of consumer habits portrayed in this video represents how the average citizen acts?

Bee Disease

2008-09-11T10:00:00.000-07:00

After hearing about hive collapse and now the spread of bee diseases as noted in the video I am a little nervous. Bees are an integral part of agriculture and we can't afford to have them threatened.

This video has that title on YouTube. It has some images that my be disturbing to some viewers. You may not like the music either. However, it makes a compelling case.

I watched the whole thing and it was well done. He made some specific remarks about economic and environmental policy. If you missed it you should see it. Good luck to the Republicans trying to top the DNC in Denver. We'll see what they do.

Celebrity Greens

Sometimes people are skeptical about celebrities promoting causes like environmentalism. Since they are into the business of image management if it is no longer fashionable they will move on to something else. If the environment falls off the radar when/if oil prices drop then the opportunity to make a difference is lost. Hopefully the gravity of the situation combined with the tremendous opportunity will be above celebrity image crafting.

Public Space Reclaimed

A video about an organization in NYC reclaiming the High Line rail and converting into a public green space. This is an interesting development and hopefully it can be replicated in other areas where similar properties can be converted.
